And lets not forget, OVA's can be more than a series that goes to video, some are specials for series. Look at the Kenshin OVA's for example.

An OAV (Original Animation Video), or OVA (Original Video Animation) is a short mini-series that is directly released to video. They're usually spin-offs of a series (Tenchi Muyo, Rurouni Kenshin, Ranma 1/2), but there are plenty that are just by themselves (Furi Kuri, Gunbuster, Gunsmith Cats, Video Girl Ai). Most that I've seen are either 6 or 13 eps. Although, there are a few that are only 4. i.e. Kenshin, and Vampire Princess Miyu. One reason that they are so short is because it usually deals with only one plot. The animators don't have a weekly deadline like they do for a series. Therefore they don't have to make filler episodes. The also have more time to make it look better visually. That is why OVA's are usually higher quality animation. (at least that's what I think)

Now, to answer the original question. I've actually never thought about which I like best. I'd say OVA's. They're right in the middle in terms of length and quality.

For AMVs I like movies better for the most part because the whole process is easier and the animation is usually much better, which makes for better flow. However, that really only applies to action AMV's, the most dramatic AMV's I've seen are always from series (most of them are based on specific characters).

I like series best. They're longer, and I like the anticipation (and delivery) of the next episode. Especially when the series is digisubbed and has no verifiable release schedule. That makes it all the better.
