Pretty much what you said. Both series went downhill after the beginning, but Dirty Harry really went totally rotten after the first two. So I picked Death Wish.
The first films of each would be tough to choose from. Both were powerful. I think, even in this case, I pick Death Wish, due to the lead character. He really doesn't ever want to be a vigilante, and his life is thrown upside down. His character is a bit more interesting than Dirty Harry, who is a very interesting character himself. Death Wish just excelled in that capacity, though.
