Brotherhood is just better. It follows the manga exactly, while the original goes off on its own path.
Brotherhood is more faithful to the manga and has better animation quality. The original series has a unique storyline that wasn't in the manga.
Having watched both, I can tell you Brotherhood has a more complete storyline that aligns with the manga, while the 2003 series takes a different, darker route. Both are awesome, though!
