Dragonborn is better imo. In dragonborn: -New island (solshiem from morrowind) -stalhrim weapons amd armor. -Lots of interesting new alchemy ingredience -new enemies like netches, burned spriggan, ore-and-gem filled ash spawn, serpetine dragon (dragon with snake head) etc -YOU CAN BEND DRAGONS TO YOUR WILL WITH A SHOUT AND TAME AND RIDE THEM, AMYWHERE. -5 new dragon priests -You get to go to a daedric realm and get new powers as a result. Very useful powers -Very hard Lv.90 hidden boss (karstaag) -One of those dragon priests is the FIRST DRAGONBORN. you, the last dragonborn, fighting the first dragonborn, on top of a daedric realm. -lots of fun sidequests -A sword that shoots lazer beams -New dwarven ruins -At level 80, you get to meat the Ebony Warrior, One VERY HARD,But amazingly fun boss fight And that is only some of many great things.

Dawnguard does have its things though: -A realm of dead souls -You either join the dawnguard to killl the vampires, or be a vampire lord and get elder scrolls and stuff. -A realm of dead souls -Adds different charuses -(the slow, not so good) crossbows -A werewolf/vampire skill tree -New armors -A few decent shouts -Adds a person in the theives guild that can change your appearance. -A very bow -IT ADDS HARD-AS-HELL LEGENDARY DRAGONS (that only start to appear when at level 78) (its also adds revered dragons, 2nd hardest) -A new hidden dwemer ruins with a Very special Dwemer boss (thogh it is side quest. Not dawnguard side-quest, just a regular sidequest), and you get a aetherieum item (which are quite buggy sometimes)

Thats...not really worth when compared to Dragonborn. But it IS really cool nontheless. Dawnguard is more...something for itself, rather than dragonborn, which goes to a seperate island with events that effect both skyrim and solsthiem. Dawnguard, besides main quest, really, you can be a vampire lord, but thats your choice...and some new chaures types. The only worthy thing outside the main quest is the legendary and revered dragons, with the aetherieum forge being a close secound.

So bottom line: Get Both, but do dragonborn first, and only start dawnguard AFTER the DB main quest.
