Many people don't really get this, but:
They are so different from each other, that you can't compare them.
Splinter Cell is all about the realism, hiding in the shadows and typically preventing some terrorist group from launching a nuclear weapon.
However, Metal Gear Solid is about this really weird story that features human freaks and events that would never work in other games. Yet it fully works in MGS. Hideo Kojima is in my opinion a genius, and the series is definitely not for everyone.
Splinter Cell is pretty fun, but MGS has my heart. If you can get into the story, it stays with you.
