Not sure I can add anything that others haven't said, but I'll relate our experiences.
We've been to both sides.
South Rim has the more "classic" views. Impressive. Crowded. People everywhere.
North Rim left us absolutely stunned with its beauty. It had just been raining. The fog, mist and low lying clouds were rising up from the canyons in places but the views were amazing - it seemed like God had just formed the world. It was truly awe inspiring. Few people, nice observation points, the visitor center and dining were very nice and not at all crowded.
My suggestion: Do both. They are radically different. It would be sort of like asking "Should I go to Yellowstone or should I go to Yosemite?"
