My opinion, for what it's worth and I will try and be objective.
It comes down to your PC's specs. Can it run SHIV?
Remember whats on the box is the minimum, to run well you ideally want better.
Also what kind of subsim player are you?
Do you play fully realistic? If so you won't be able to see much of SHIV's better graphics, if you spend your time peering through the scope and looking at the map. If you play at lower levels and like to use features like the external camera then the better graphics will be a huge draw.
To be honest the the original post gave me a little laugh, most people seems to have a pretty strong bias one way or another whatever forum you post in.
SH3 for me. (Though I do own and still occasionally play SHIV)
