I've done both and it's interesting that they don't entirely agree on my DNA results. 23andme has me at 50.5% British & Irish, 19.6% French & German, and then smaller percentages for other areas. Ancestry has me at 42% Scottish/Irish/British, 35% Germanic Europe, and then smaller percentages of other areas making up the remainder.
Of the two, I like 23andme better for DNA because they update regularly and sometimes the results shift slightly, so I feel that they are constantly improving their data. I have a lot of DNA matches there - only one first cousin, though, and the rest are farther out, so I guess my large family isn't that interested in DNA. They also offer a lot of health information based on your DNA. I've definitely found more thorough information on DNA on their site.
However, like you, I've got a family tree built on Ancestry.com.
