I enjoy them both -- you know Aquinas quotes quite extensively from St. Augustine. I had to read Augustine's De Trinitatis (On the Holy Trinity), for a class I took a few years ago (on the Trinity, of all things!). I certainly found Austine easier to read than Aquinas. But one really has to appreciate Aquinas' logic, as well as his ability to present fairly the arguments of his opponants (sometimes perhaps better than they could present them themselves!).
