Oh, a favorite topic!
In my opinion, sci-fi is still better. At least because it's easier to filter out the junk... simply by looking at the annotations and authors. Lem, Harrison, the Strugatsky brothers? Bring it on, double the portion. "The Stars My Destination," "Dune"? Thank you, we'll give it a try. Some "super action" novel? Too much pathos, toss it! With fantasy, it's more complicated... Tolkien, McCaffrey, Sprague de Camp, Le Guin? Get them here immediately!!! But outside of this list... it's a problem! You can find something much better than "The Lord of the Rings," but you can also find something truly awful.
And the best thing is smart techno-fantasy... I've only encountered such gems from D. Chekalov; if anyone has any recommendations, I'd be grateful...
And for now, I'm on the side of fantasy ;) Although, as I said before, you can't claim that one literary genre is better than another. Both fantasy and science fiction are wonderful! I just think that the one with more trash "loses."
