In terms of which OS I prefer, I say Android with zero hesitation. To me, it's simply a better OS, period. I don't think anyone can argue with it being a lot more versatile than iOS, allowing users to do things which simply cannot be done on iOS. Ranging from the simplistic (file browsing and drag & drop, widgets, freestyle icon placement...) to the more complex (installing new launchers, new keyboards, multi-user customization...)
But beyond the versatility, I personally find it more intuitive and more attractive to boot. And all this is coming from someone who started on iOS and have since jumped ship.
Now, as far as hardware is concerned it a little bit of a different story. I love the Nexus 10, I really do. It's a solidly built device with a great screen. But I still have to give the iPad 3 the leg up. The battery is a bit better, and (in no small part due to the metallic body of the iPad) the overall feel of the device is more impressive. Then again, I do prefer the aspect ratio of the Nexus 10 to that of the iPad...
Anyway, hardware-wise it's close enough that I choose the Nexus 10 over the iPad any day of the week, simply because of the superior OS.
