I prefer Mega Bloks because of the types of sets they put out. I picked up a number of the Dragons sets cheap. Generic fantasy guys in armour and orcs. Orcs! The ship sets are awesome (managed to get 3 of those for $5 a pop), with fabric sales. I saw the Mega Bloks pirate ship and it's much better than the Legos set. I use Dragons figures in fantasy skirmish gaming, and I use the Alien Legacy figures in place of miniatures in our Delta Green games.
Mega Bloks just seems to be more interesting. My 6 year old is certainly more attracted to Mega Bloks than Lego, so Mega Bloks is tapping into something the Danish company is missing.

D'oh! Alien Agency, not Alien Legacy...
