The Avengers have been recruiting the best Mutants from the X-Men Side... think back to like 15 - 20 years ago... our modern X-men lineup is startign to look like "X-Men Evil Team" (TM) with Cyclops at the helm. :-p Poor Cyk.
I gotta go with modern era Avengers on this one. (I'm assuming we're talking about the Avengers vs. X-Men fun about to start up.) ;)
Honestly though, I love both, just don't like the direction "West Coast X-Men" are going at the moment... but I guess it's all been setup for the next big Marvel event.
I use to like the X-men way more and if this was happening some time before 2000 I would have been on the X-mens side but right now Cyclops and most of his Utopia crew come across as racists to me so I am on the Avengers side
BTW I think Wolverine and the X-Men should have been a 3rd choice
X-men, based on the fact their current books, specifically Wolverine & the X-men and Uncanny X-Force are far better than those that come from the Avengers line.
I used to like the X Men more...but recently..they've all become unbearable with the egos they're running, whether it's the elitist behavior of Namor, the douchey behavior of Cyclops, Wolverine and his ever changing sense of morality, Emma and her extreme anti social (aka b*tchy) behavior, or Hope and her team of...ugh don't get me started on them...So I pick Avengers for the win!
They are more relatable,they have more struggles,they have a more realistic feel.They are more versatile as far as storylines go. You have that gritty feel real word vibe, and the prejudice, discrimination but the story arcs can also take fun and lighter tone, like an actual superhero adventure,instead of the usual vigilantism or civil right activist shtick.
Avengers are alright,but I've always seen them as the Marvel rip off of Justice League..lol All jokes aside, avengers are good,but I don't get the same family oriented feeling that X-team shares(pre House of M)
I just love the X-universe infinitely more.I will always be a true believe,love the MU as whole,but the X-verse got me into comics and is my main series that i follow without skipping at beat.Even if I cant to get a hold of a issue right away,I come here to stay updated.

You know...now that I think about it, I've NEVER liked the X-Men more, I don't know what I was thinking.
I am leaning more towards the X-Men but this is mostly because of the cartoons.
I prefer the X-men's variety of powers and their villains too. In fact, all in all, the X-men has always been my favourite team with the Justice League close by.
