I have played neither, I'm not good at horror or puzzle games, and I always get them confused for some reason. So pick your favourite series!
Only played Resident Evil. I've only beaten RE4 and 5, but really only cared for 4. Played the first and Zero but never got far in either.
Never played Silent Hill. Wanted to. Just never did.
Final Fantasies defeated

I've only played Silent Hill and it's since become one of my favorite series of all time.
I have no interest in playing RE whatsoever
Silent Hill, but only by default because I've never played any Resident Evils. I have a feeling I would enjoy them and that it would be difficult for me to choose between them.
Probably Resident Evil given the amount of time I spent on 4 and 5. Silent Hills 1-3 will always be classics but then everything they've done since has been an abomination.
I like them both, and I like the classic tank controls. (Well.....like is inaccurate. I like them for the time.)
I'd rank Silent Hill higher, but they're both good.
I should really give the Silent Hill games a go. I think I played the first one briefly back in the day. I've played Resident Evils 1-4 and they were all pretty damn good.
Silent Hill did produce one of my favourite screenshots of all time though.

Yes but

Also I tell a lie, PT was superb. But then I struggle to call it a Silent Hill game given that Konami are smurfing atrocious.
