Seeing as I wrote an entire article on my site about how overall Silver beats Gold on several counts even though the game I got was Gold, I'd have to be silly not to pick SoulSilver.
It's been forever since I read that article and I don't remember exactly what you pointed out (maybe I should go read it again...), but I'd wait and see what changes they make first. FR and LG don't line up exactly with Red and Blue, so things like version exclusives and triggers and sprite differences and whatnot may not be the same.
(Hm... I wonder if they'll bring back the two sets of sprites?)
That said, as far as I know I'd probably prefer Silver as well. I might get Cyndaquil as a tribute to my first Silver version file that I can't find anymore and probably died (at least, I don't think I have the original backed up anywhere) the way I had an FR game in honor of my favorite Red file that died (my Charizard ;-;), but I like the Totodile line as well. If I do end up getting both then I'll probably get one of each, but assuming I stop wasting money and only get one then... yeah, probably Cyndaquil. I might change my mind based on the exclusives and junk, though.
