We have both.
Girlfriend bought me an Amazon Fire TV (not the stick one) for my birthday, which is very smart and much more slick than the Apple TV's interface we, plus it runs XBMC/Kodi too so no need for the RaspberryPi / HTPC any more.
As far as the two services go, we definitely watch more Netflix than we do stuff on Amazon Prime, but that's because Netflix has more things on it that we want to watch, which tends to be anything from Friends and Fraiser to Daredevil.
I would say, get a Fire TV (it comes with Netflix preloaded on it), see if you can get a Amazon Prime trial and test them both out.
Amazon can be pretty decent, but we still find that Netflix has the upper hand. Add a DNS fudging service and you have even more stuff to watch.
We're in the US and use Netflix and some free websites like Crackle.com most of the time.
We've also been known to use RabbitTV. The RabbitTV gives us our locals very nicely.
With everything available on the internet to watch on your TV, I don't know why anyone bothers with actual TV cable anymore. Especially considering how expensive cable TV is these days.

I'm not really into much American stuff other than Big Bang and a few other comedies. I'm still a kid at heart so Cartoons are what I am mostly wanting to watch with William.
I will try both and then pass judgement. That is if Sky don't give me an amazing deal to stay with them for another year. Which normally happens when you try and cancel.
You Tube has a lot of cartoons. Loony Toons and so forth. My grandsons watch them on it all the time. :)
That is very true, It also has a lot of nasty that doesn't always gets blocked by the age limit.
No TV for ~5-years. Don't know what we'd do without our library's vast collection of dvds (including many tv series).
I check out what they want to watch to make sure it's safe. So far, we've never had a problem. They tend to lean in the direction of Looney Toons and Hannah Barbera. Sometimes Sesame Street, but mostly the cartoons. :)
Last count about two years ago was right around 3000 DVDs for our house. I'm sure there are more shows and movies than DVDs. We have quite a few that are collections. Like ten, twenty, fifty, etc. of a certain type of movie, then there are the series that usually have at least a couple episodes on each disc.
When I started collecting it was VHS, but then DVD came out and I switched over. Switching was fun...NOT. lol
