It's a bit of an apples and oranges situation but considering the history I'm curious which one people prefer in a situation where you could only have one. I believe 2006 is still considered abandonware with it previously being listed on Steam but being removed when they ran out of keys.

I liked 2017's gameplay but I felt like 2006 was more memorable and unique so I think I'd choose it.

I've only played the 2006 game, (loved it. 10/10 game for me) and was really excited for what was going to be Prey 2, there's still a trailer floating around for it, you'd be a human bounty hunter cast into the wider galaxy post prey 2006s story. Unfortunately that didn't get made.

I've heard good things about the 2017 but have yet to play it! Its been on my list for a while.

If you've played prop hunt and like randomly beating objects to find out what's people you'll probably like 2017.

In all seriousness though it is a good game that has a decent amount of fun frantic chaotic combat. I feel like it's a bit difficult to compare to other games but if I had to I'd say it reminds me a bit of BioShock and Control
