I'll opt for jrpgs. I used to be more about western ones but I'm getting a bit jaded by them. A lot of grinding and repetitive combat... Something I used to accuse JRPGs of. Many like elder scrolls seem to opt for quantity over quality and that no longer impresses me like it used to.
Obviously both are big genres and there are many games but typically I expect JRPG's have better stories, gameplay and game design. Both are frequently contaminated with too much grinding and boring gameplay.
If I had to give favourite RPG right now (ignoring nostalgia goggles) I might actually opt for fire emblem: awakened. I'm feeling a little jaded by both western and Japanese rpg's right now, to be honest.
