I've played at both (for context, Paradisa has been my home game for a long time, and I apped at SP because I was interested in its dark premise and one of its casts), and I wasn't able to make SP stick.

I love Paradisa a lot, so I'll talk about that game first. There is a nice blend of established older players and new up and coming players who keep the game lively and fun. The game has a lot of freedom, so you're able to do pretty much anything you want, and it leaves a lot of room for character growth and interesting cr. The downside is, people who have stayed here for a long time are complaining that the game is getting stagnant, and some people are getting bored with the lack of structure.

SP, on the other hand, I was never able to become completely immersed with it. However, I think this is a personal problem. SP seems like a game where you have to devote a lot of attention to it, and it just doesn't work well as a sort of 'on the side game' in my opinion. I like the dark premise and the interesting characters, but in contrast to Paradisa's freedom it doesn't seem like there's a lot of freedom in SP. I guess that's what comes with being in a more plot-focused game?

So my recommendation, figure out if you want a more structured plot, or a place where you have the freedom to do your own thing. Both games are filled with terrifically nice people and fun characters to play with, so you can't really go wrong in this decision :) Good luck!
