TotK for me. I love both games but I've sunk more time into TotK with more to go since I still want to find all the caves.
For me the depths were where it was at, wandering around in the dark. I rarely constructed things. It was mostly on foot exploration throwing brightbloom seeds like a mad man. I loved that sometimes you'd launch a seed and it would just keep dropping. You'd creep up to the edge and see it waaaay down in the bottom of a chasm that you had no idea was in front of you moments before. That for me was prime exploration. Who cares that the surface was roughly the same you had the entire depths to explore and even a bit of exploration in the sky.
After 300 plus hours I still have tons of stuff to find.
