Metagross. However, I do like the duality between the two:

ancient dragon vs. modern computer
Dragon Type vs Steel Type (the only type to actually resist Dragon back then)
Intimidate vs Clear Body
Salamence's high attack vs. Metagross' high defense

It all points toward Metagross being Salamence's nemesis in the worst type of way, basically countering all of its aspects. Of course, in practice things are a lot more difficult as Salamence has a lot of coverage to hit Metagross back.

I am also a fan of both but I'm a fan of dragons so my choice is Salamence. It looks fierce and the lore of Bagon dreaming of flying is adorable.

I love Salamence. It's my favorite Dragon type. However I think I might like Metagross more. Especially it's mega.
Mega salamence has always looked weird to me.

Salamence by a hair. Views both as a little boring-looking. Sees Salamence as a generic dragon and Metagross as a four-legged metal sphere with an 'X' face. (Could boil a lot of good Pokemon down into terms like this, admittedly. Wonders why Avalugg never got the same love as Metagross, though. Considers them similar forms.)

I love both, however, Salamence truly has my heart! My second favourite dragon type (Garchomp slightly edging it out), my love for this majestic dual type pokemon is unmatched. Salamence just has such a simplistic, sleek, & elegant design. How I would love to ride atop one.

I prefer Metagross by a lot. I find Salamance way too generic for my taste, especially since we also got Flygon this gen and Dragonite and Charizard existed way before this one. and it has one of the worst (design-wise) mega evolution.

Probably Metagross since Salamence is a pretty basic looking dragon and Steel/Psychic is a better typing.

I'm a Hoenn boy, so it's kind of hard to choose, but I'd prefer Metagross because its shiny is cooler.

Metagross, because it breaks the mold most pseudo-legendaries fit in.
