I'd say they're equal, but also two very different feelings.
FO3 feels so much like a world reclaiming itself. You have a scant few major settlements, most things are still pretty ramshackle, everything feels shoved together. There's an air of violent change, and you're one of the hands helping to guide it down this new path.
New Vegas felt lived in. Settlements felt more established, you had The Strip as this beacon in the night, and you had outsiders shoving in on top of them. Yes, still striking the feel of "violent change", but it felt less "Bring order to chaos" and more "The King is dead. Long live the King".
