Neither was all that good, in our opinion. We have played as both and completed their skill trees, (we do prefer 1st person, however). The Vampire Lord seems to have more problems with indoor movement, especially narrow passages with low ceilings. Luckily, one can switch forms an unlimited number of times a day. The hunger transformations can be a real problem, as well. The Vampire's Night eye ability is handy if one is not a Khajiit, but there are other ways to get this. Being able to walk on water can be fun, but diving to get somewhere requires leaving the Lord form. The new powers are fun until the novelty wears off, but the liabilities when not in the Lord form just don't make up for the benefits.

As for Werewolves, being limited to one transformation a day, (two with Hircine's ring), and ending up naked and unequiped when returning to  the 'normal' form, are a real pain. The fact that a werewolf has no ranged attacks is also a handicap.

We have found that being a Werewolf, mainly for the resistance to disease, is better, for practical purposes, than being a Vampire Lord.
