I think Breaking Bad has the better plot and is overall the better show.
Definitely the more entertaining plot and more 'shocking' moments that make things memorable for the audience. BCS was a much slower build up those first few seasons.
But I think BCS edges out BB in terms of character development, particularly with Kim, Nacho, and Howard - who didn't have the advantage of any backstory from BB.
I also felt like it was easier to dislike Walter White because of his personality, even if the audience was drawn to root for him against the other villains. Whereas with BCS, I never stopped having empathy for Jimmy. I was always rooting for him because there was still some good left in him, even at the end. BCS had more heart.
