I have both of them on my DS library, personally both of them are great games, different genres but each experience is worth to live it!! If you have to pick just one, go for AW: DoR it's a solid solo 'n multiplayer package!
Days of Ruin is by far better. I've owned both, and Days of Ruin is still in my collection (although the campaign is pretty hard by itself, but replay is awesome). Sold off Command, just wasn't worth it.
Advance Wars is great. Good online, excellent strategic depth, hotseat multiplayer and level of difficulty as well as perfectly balanced units.
Star Fox on the other hand has less going for it. Great control and good graphics can't fully compensate for a short campaign, poor multiplayer/online and plain bad writing.
... that said, I am a flight combat/ space combat freak... I even played through that Millenium Falcon game on the GBA (yeah, I know... right? Hopeless - I'll play anything) and I really didn't enjoy the over-all concept of "Star Fox" even though I'm a fan from back on the N64 days as far as the Fox is concerned. It felt too much like a rail-shooter (preset courses and you shoot as much as you can) than a space combat game to me...
"AW: Days of Ruin" is a great series, but you need to enjoy Turn-Based Strategy games... if you're not into Chess, forget it.
advance wars days of ruin is a very good game it has great gameplay and awesome character designs. Starfox command was decent but it should have just been like starfox 64 (yea i know its been said about every star fox game since 64 but its still true)and i dont know how they keep messing up a good formula, the controls weren't very responsive either.
Maybe get Days of Ruin. It's pretty good, but not nearly as good as the first Advance Wars DS. I advise staying away from Star Fox Command, though. It's pretty fun at first but it gets very repetitive and the mission structure is really flawed.
If you are into turn-based games, get AW:DOR. All the advance wars games are solid and have great replay value. If you like turn based at all, I would strongly advise AW.
But otherwise, SF:Command is your game. I personally didn't like it... but ehh... one mans opinion.
