I think Silent Hill is probably the better series, but admittedly, a lot of that's just personal preference. I think that the latest Resident Evil games probably don't fall under the genre of survival horror (which pretty much by definition requires a lack of weaponry, battle skills, etc.), but even prior to that, I just like Silent Hill better. I will make an exception for the first games of both series, though. The original Silent Hill has an interesting but incomprehensible storyline (yes, you can understand it, but you have to see a lot of out-of-game material to do so), and its graphics aren't the greatest. Not that RE had perfect graphics, but it used more static backgrounds that looked better, and the running animations were a substantial improvement.
