It's actually Symbian ^4 that will be the big Symbian Foundation release. Symbian ^3 is sort of "half-way-point", bit like Maemo 5 is the last step before Maemo 6.
As for which one is better? I don't think that's really important question. Nokia* is developing both for different purposes. Hopefully both wll be very good for what they intended for.
*In reality Nokia does the vasy majority and dominates Symbian development, despite what Symbian Foundation and Nokia says about coperation in Symbian development

Maemo 6 most probally. Symbian^3 seems to get pretty much all the stuff that Symbian 9.5 was supposed to be, starting from screenplay, but nothing like Symbian^4 where Maemo 6 should be compared.
AVKON will be pushed away for Qt in Symbian^4 and we should be seeing Nokia's direct UI. It will be totally different beast compared to Symbian^3. My guess is that it's UI is similar to Maemo 6.
Considering Maemo seems to be targeted for people like me i would be going for Maemo 6 when it comes rather than Symbian^4, but you never know.

I'd say Symbian^3 is of the same generation as a patched Maemo 5, not Maemo 6. Symbian^4 is the future contestant to Maemo 6. If the rumored S^3-equipped N87 12MP comes true, then the S^3 platform can be considered as a half step toward "the big one", or Maemo 5.5 equivalent if you prefer.

So Maemo will be first and Symbian will be better. We'll always be the bleeding edge.

Does anyone really care about Symbian these days? Who really wants to develop applications for Symbian? I really don't know (I'm not a symbian developer), but I have never heard any positive comments about Symbian.
I don't consider Maemo as a silver bullet for everything. There are some major issues that needs to be solved before it can really be a "flag ship" for Nokia.
The direction (of Maemo) in large scale is going to the right way and I'm glad to see that. I'm quite curious to see where this all goes. So as I said, one vote for Maemo.

if you looked at nokia's plans for the future you'd know that their planing on 3 platforms
S40 - low end cheap mobiless
Symbian - midrange smartphones
Maemo - high end sophisticated mobile devices
symbian is projected to be their largest market while S40 is going to grow alot more as they expand more into poorer countries.
maemo is projected to expand slower but they plan on releasing 1 maemo 5 device this year and (if i recall correctly) have 4 next year.
