It's tough to pick, but I suppose I'll go with DS for a few reasons.
Animal Crossing
Mario Kart DS: Super Circuit is one of the few MK games I've barely played, and the controls and physics are too tough for me.
DSi: It unfortunately removes the GBA port, but adds a camera, more processing power, and DSiWare.
3D games: Yeah, 3D titles are still primitive on DS. But they're clearly more sophisticated than the few barely 3D games on GBA.
On the DS and DS Lite you can play GBA games. A GBA+DS combo is probably a better library than GB+GBC+GBA.

It's tough, though. GBA SP is compact and awesome and of course opens up the GB+GBC libraries. For what it's also worth, no DS games make it on my Top 50 of all-time, but Mother 3 and Super Mario Advance 2 (combined with the SNES version of SMW per the list rules) are in my Top 25.
So basically, the higher highs of GBA software are better, but the DS offers more variety.
