Right now LD, but that's probably no fair, because we have multiple trailers for LD and only a vague description of what Prodigy is about.
 
We have so little of an idea what Prodigy is going to be like that I find it hard to say if it's something that could be more interesting than what we already know about Lower Decks.
 
I voted Lower Decks. I’m finding it hard to imagine what Prodigy will be like, and how much resemblance it will have to the Star Trek I enjoy. Is it stuff like “Kids bump into the Gorn”? Just setting it in the Trek universe probably won’t be enough to hold my interest. But it’s early, so I’m keeping an open mind.
 
One thing I can say at this point is that I prefer Prodigy's title treatment over the Lower Decks title design. The Prodigy title looks very stylish and cool, whereas the typography of the Lower Decks font looks just off. The latter looks more like a comedy, though, that's for sure.

Lower Decks, because we have know some idea what will the comedy in ST universe look like and I´m giving it a chance, but I´m more skeptical towards "kids show", especially in this era of production...

Yep. The Lower Decks title looks godawful, worse than Discovery's. Prodigy's is nice though.

Where I struggle with the Lower Decks title is that they’ve purposefully used a TNG-style font for “Lower Decks,” but CBS *really* wants to all of their “Star Trek Universe” shows to use the same font for “Star Trek,” so it’s... off.

The placement of the Star Trek doesn't help, and the Lower Decks font looks like it's made of jelly, it doesn't look clean at all.
 
How is this even a question? Obviously Lower Decks since that's something we know stuff about, have a trailer, images, clips and oh, yeah, it premieres in less than a week. Prodigy we just have a title and a vague plot summary. Now, maybe when something substantial is known about Prodigy I will get excited, but at the moment, it's just a show coming at some point in the future, and all my interest is in Lower Decks.
 
Don't know enough about Prodigy to say for sure, but it's supposedly aimed younger which is a turnoff so Lower Decks for me.

For now.

But really, could be anything.

You would be surprised at what makes it into a kid’s cartoon. SpongeBob Squarepants is downright subversive at times.
 
Not a fan of animation?

Me, I'm just not exactly a hundred percent in love with ANY show (animated or not) that basically turns Trek into a slapstick joke.

If Lower Decks (I'm way too old for Prodigy) is capable of playing it straight for at least a LITTLE bit, then I'm all for it.
