KOTOR1 is the best by far (in my opinion), but I do think that #2 was really good as well. I would recommend you just play both...KOTOR1 first and KOTOR2 second.
kotor 1 is by far superior. mostly because kotor 2 contradicts kotor 1s story so much and has no real epic "OMG!" moments like in kotor 1 where you *spoilers*... kotor 2 is better gameplay wise i suppose but still falls short of the original.
I would play KOTOR 1 first, if only because of chronological reasons. You'll spoil some of the events of KOTOR 1, if you play 2 first. I think they are pretty similar in enjoyment, with the edge going to 1 for some of its epic moments. Playing them both on the PC, I had more bugs with KOTOR 2, but YMMV, especially if you play it on the Xbox.
KOTOR 1 is better overall, but KOTOR 2 is more open in terms of character and party and weapon development. Always play KOTOR 1 first, but for allah's sake, buy both games.
KOTOR1, KOTOR2 and Mass Effect have gotta be some of the best games I have played, you can't go wrong with Bioware, let's hope they bring their rpg magic to their MMO.

"I think most people will say 1 was better, but I prefer 2."
I agree that I prefer 2 as well, but overall I think 1 is better, 2 falls apart in the story and is too buggy. 1 is more "solid" from top to bottom. But I would never go back and play 1 again, I'm still playing 2 because of the deeper gameplay.
I'm bummed I never got a chance to play KOTOR2. Unfortunately it's not 360 compatible and my original Xbox controllers both broke and I'm not willing to buy new ones for a console I'd pretty much never use again. I think KOTOR1 is one of the best games on the 360. I totally loved it. I actually beat it three times, which is quite a lot considering the length of the game.
KOTOR 1 is definitely the better game, but if you're really a star wars fan and you aren't going to get too irked by a pretty crappy ending, then you should play 2 as well. Just to give an example of how much more i like 1 over 2.. I played the latter only once, and the first one I played so many times that I can't even remember exactly how many.
As long as the game keeps me entertained I'm fine with it. And I guess both will entertain me for awhile... I'll just get the 1 to keep up with the story!
Going off on a little bit of a Star Wars tangent, but I'd like to comment that while KOTOR I and II are great, you'll never encounter a cooler and more interesting droid in the entire SW universe than Proxy from Force Unleashed. Just for the record...
