Micro can not play any GameBoyColor, or GameBoy games only Advance games. I'd go with the micro IMO since it's way smaller and has a better back-light.
Go for the sp. You can play original and game boy color games on the sp. You can on the micro. Also, the sp has a bigger screen, which is better for games with a large amount of text.
The SP would be better if you think you'll want to play GB and GBCgames. If you don't, then the micro might be the best choice because it's cheaper and smaller.

GBA SP Pearl colored ones that come in either pink or blue are the brighter, backlit SPs. Also, if you can find any, there are the Graphite (lighter black) SPs. The packages indicate that it has a brighter screen.
And yes, the Micro screen is much smaller than the SP's. If I'm not mistaken, it's a 2:3 ratio.
i have had both. i can tell you now ive gotten more use out of my micro recently. in fact, im playing it now. i usually slip it in my pocket and go... more often than my ds, in all honestly, which i dont think i take anywhere. even though the screen is smaller, its much brighter, and imo a lot better looking. text isnt unreadable either nor does it strain eyes.
im thinking about replaying both golden suns soon, as soon as i finish the game im playing now. it will be on the micro.
I prefer the micro because I can take Final Fantasy games anywhere. Only complaint is that dust gets under the screen too easily, and the faceplates scratch like a mofo.
Definitely the SP coz it looks better and if you get a special edition one like I did they are really cool. I got a Special Ripcurl Edition thats white and red, its way better than a micro.
definetly an sp. And look for the light blue one w/ the lighter brighter screen. Micro is just a waste of money imo. It may be smaller but the sp is small enough, and hides the screen when you fold it up and put it in your pocket.
If you plan on playing GB or GBC games at any point between now and the near future...I would suggest you get the SP. GB and GBC games are NOT compatible with the Micro. On the other hand, the Micro is so small that it is very easy to take around with you. Because of how small it is, it requires a little time to get used to the feel of playing a game on such a small device. Me personally, I dont think I would like to play games on that small screen for any extended period of time and playing FF games on it, you would be staring at that screen for a while.
really, the micro is better. its small screen really doesnt hinder the experience at all unless you have really bad eyesight or something.
the no gb/gbc support hardly matters. how many good gameboy games you'd still be playing right now anyways? hmm, the pokemons, the wario lands, tetris. what else? there hardly isnt anything on it that isnt already better and on the gba.
the micro really doesnt seem worth buying when you read about it, look at pictures and see it in videos. but if you actually saw it, youd' know that its a really good sytsem.
I've never liked the shape of the SP, so I'd go for Micro. Funny this is I'm actually trying to buy one for my nephew, but I can't one anywhere....only seen SP's around. Both are good purchases however, they serve the same purpose. Just a matter of preference.
here is my opinion: i am very happy u decided to go with a more reliable system(in other words not the ds) seeing as i have owned both of the systems, i would have decent experience with them. the micro has a brighter picture, but the old link cables do not work with the micro. my opinion would be to go with the sp,. it is more compatible and very heavy duty. i hope i helped you out. and remember:SUPER NINTENDO FOREVER!!!!
