I like both of them, but I voted for the original because it is such an effective film without having to rely on the standard horror movie cliches. Zombie's movie goes a little overboard with the violence and the backstory. I didn't need to know Michael's mother works in a titty bar or dates a redneck jackass. I didn't need to know Michael mutilated small animals as a child.
Plus no one plays Loomis like Donald Pleasence. I like Malcom but he just isn't the same.
