Sorry Marvel folks, I am just basing that on what I saw on the movie screen. AOU was terrible. Whatever else you might want to say about JL, at least it was entertaining and fun to watch.

Age of Ultron is pretty weak. But it had some genuinely great scenes like Visions birth and his final speech with Ultron. The party where they were taking turns to lift Mjolnir. Hulk vs Hulkbuster. The final battle where they fighting in a circle. Even Ultron, as unthreatening as he was, had some good dialogue and interesting thematics behind him.
I'm not sure how to word it any other way. Just like saying "Stop right there lol. It's not definitely better than anything. " comes off as not conveying that either, when obviously it is. But instead just comes off as arrogant.
Age of Ultron is underrated imo. It didn't quite stick the landing, and some choices didn't pan out, but on the whole it's pretty much on par with the first Avengers for me. Besides all the great scenes already mentioned, it was just really satisfying to see the Avengers as a functional team together for a movie. Yeah, it's more of a Saturday morning cartoon kinda movie compared to top tier MCU, but I still dig it.
JL on the other hand I have no desire to ever rewatch.

Again opinions. I have no desire to watch Age of Ultron again because those scenes did nothing for me, and even if they had, I don't want to slog through the whole movie again just to see them.
I liked the characters in Justice League, so I want to see them interact again and plan on seeing Justice League again.
Lest you think I am anti-Marvel, I loved the hell out of Captain America: Winter Soldier and the two Guardians of the Galaxy, though liked the first one more, and the Iron Man solo movies, and the first (2002) Spider-Man movie.

I'm a DC fan, much more so than Marvel (except for John Byrne's work in the 70's-80's on X-Men, FF, Alpha Flight and West Coast Avengers, Excalibur, and Simonson's Thor run).
Having said that I have to be honest. Avengers and Avengers Age of Ultron are much better superhero team films than Justice League.
The action in JL isn't bad, the heroes are pretty decent approximations of their comic book counterparts and there's some humour. But that's about it.
I mean, Age of Ultron has at least 15 minutes that they could have cut out but it also has some really impressive action sequences and character development. JL's action isn't bad but not as memorable.
I would say that in terms of the heroes interacting (in an enjoyable and entertaining way) JL holds its own with the Avengers and there is one sequence where JL absolutely is better than Avengers :
The resurrected Superman fights the whole league, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg Flash and Batman and wipes the floor with them.
It's brief, but I felt it a lot better than Thor v Iron Man or Thor v Hulk.
I would say it's almost on a par with Hulk v Hulkbuster Iron Man, but it's too short. I also suspect I'm biased on that one, and the GA might not really care that much.
However, that one sequence doesn't make up for all the places it falls far short of Avengers.
For some reason the Avengers films create a lot more tension and drama than JL ( Loki, of course was great, Ultron wasn't a great villain, but he's a lot better than Steppenwolf, particularly in the cgi they used for him).
Anyway, it's a good thing JL hasn't been compared to Ragnarok or Civil War, because that's almost a non-question.
So, in summary yes, I'm a DC fan, and yes, had to be honest and vote for Avengers.
