Definitey the Sprint. Both are very good Sport Touring bikes, but ever since Honda added variable valves to the VFR (in 2003?), the VFR has suffered from lots of criticism re: throttle response and lumpy power delivery. The Sprint, on the other hand, was significantly updated last year and given a bigger, smoother three cylinder. The only criticisms of the Sprint seem to be engine heat managment (cooks your legs in hot weather) and poor side luggage (something Triumph was going to fix this year - not sure if they did). Plus I think the Sprint is much nicer looking - IMHO.

Warning: Recent model Triumph front brakes suck.

Warning: Recent model Triumph front brakes suck. Just read any road test. Nice bikes but loads of mushy brake lever travel and Triumph refuse to admit any problem or provide a fix, despite being inundated with complaints...yes I am a Triumph owner.
