I guess it depends on what you are using it for, but to just pick one I'd say the 6200.

I would get neither of them, both of them are mainstream cards and are no good if you want to use them for gaming
if due your system or budget I would look something like a 6600-6800GT

making the question short is nice, but a bit more details would be nice
like why the 5200 or 6200
and what for do you want to use them for.
