The Studio Tour is a definite must ride when you're at Universal Studios... You ride in a tram on the Studio Tour so we usually plan this towards the end of our day when we need a break from running around all day. You have a tram guide who guides you through all the sets and attractions for a personal touch.

Cons: The rides are fun however, the 3D rides have so much jolting and visual affects, if you get motion sickness in any way, these rides could make you sick. After Harry Potter, Transformers and the Studio Tour, I couldn't handle anymore than that. Everything is very expensive, including getting into the park.

If you're more interested in large rides like roller coasters, Universal is going to be your best bet. The same is true if you're a big fan of Harry Potter. If you don't mind some of the more family-friendly rides or you have little ones to bring along, Disney may be a better option.
