They are both pretty fun, but a bit on the slow/tedious side to solo, if that is your bag.
Personally, I am enjoying the ranger on and off. Yeah, until you get a Tolan's bracer, which you can use at 46, fletching 150 range arrows is tedious, but you get used to it. Arrows go quick! However, they make for a nice DoT for rooting, dotting and shooting the mob until it gets low enough where you can melee it without getting too clobbered.
I have only taken fletching up to 140 or so, but use the bone shaft/field point/parabolic fletching/small groove arrows due to them being cheap and having 150 range. It gets pretty damn expensive above that! I will need to try to make better arrows to see if there is a significant damage increase.
Also, you get SoW, Lev, Regen, small nukes, small DoTs and other decent utility spells as you progress.
Rangering is not about efficiency, if that is what you are into. I find it pretty fun though.
