I think it's an unfair comparison. Obviously the Aether is better prepared and more aesthetically pleasing. It was done by five talented modders over the course of months. The Nether probably didn't take too long to put together, it was done by one man, and it's not finished.
That being said, the Aether bugs me because the mechanics all change. The Nether works the same as the basic world (put item 1 and 2 together to get item 3), but the Aether has changed it (item 1 and 2 together make item 4).
A big plus for the Aether is that it's much easier to get around. The Nether is difficult terrain and if don't go in with tools or extra blocks you're never going to get anywhere, but in the Aether you can build your own items.
My hope is that when Notch gets around to improving the Nether he makes it more accessible and detailed. Better (and more) links to the basic world would be nice, as well as more items that can come out of it.
I prefer the Nether. You need glowstone to get to the aether, and glowstone comes from the Nether... so yeah.
The the Nether is more fun to survive in than in the Aether. With Ghasts, giantchasms, bottomless pits, lava streams, and dark caves of no return, the Nether is a little bit more of a challenge.

You are right , nether is a real challenge , i only go to the nether in SMP when like 5 guys come with me , but in SSP i always turn the difficult to peaceful xD.
Nether is a fun challenge , but the aether has a lot of stuff new tools , new dungeons , a lot of new mobs , and when you see it , it is really beautiful.
The Aether, derp. The dungeons are freakin' sexy. Not just a little (mossy) cobblestone box with a spawner. So far, I like the bronze dungeons better than silver, but I haven't even tried gold, yet.
It has more stuff...
the aether.
huh..last time i tried i got blown off the map..
