Metal Gear Solid has always been geared (no pun intended) more toward superficial arcade action with an involving, yet sometimes convoluted, plot consisting of lies, corruption, and political intrigue.
SC is the exact opposite. It goes for realistic, tense action, while the story doesn't amount to shit. I never really cared why Sam Fisher was where ever he was. All I know is I have to go to so-and-so and talk to so-and-so while snapping all the necks I can on the way.
It's really just a preference. SC's innovative multiplayer is worth mention, though.
