New Vegas is quest-based, Fallout 3 is exploration-based. New Vegas has more quests, although a number of them are two- or three-step postman-like missions.
Eventually you spend more time in NV doing quests and more time in FO3 just wandering the map and collecting all those perpetual collection quest items (like many scrap metal, many Quartzes, many sugar bombs, and so on, and so on) and killing stuff. This seems to attract a lot more people since it is more of a free-roam.
But if you want to do something other than free-roam, then yes, New Vegas will suit you better in the mid/long run.
The downside is that after you learn all the quests and the possible ways to finish them, the replay value may drop drastically, unless you start experimenting with new type of character builds (not just snipers and melee brawlers), or quest mods. (Although the quest mods are mediocre usually at best, but they still may provide you with a number of hours of additional content.)

I don't know about quantity, but in my opinion the quality of quests in New Vegas seemed better and more relevant to the main story line. Skyrim is a good example of having tons of fetch quests that are there to give players something to do but don't really relate to the main story arc directly. It's kinda like going to a buffet versus having a chef prepare a seven course meal. You'll get filled up either way, but which one is the more memorable experience?

thanks i really love fonv for the hardcore mode with hunger and thirst and needing to sleep if they had that on fo3 i probs would play that more coz i reall like the way its done adds a suvival aspect to the game with fo3 i dont really see much of that but really like exploring an finding epic loot by lockpicking and just exploring every nook and cranny too hmm hard choice ive played fonv so many time i think im gonna spend the next few weeks on fo3 thanks

Hardcore mode was added to FO3 with mods, I think, just like how real iron sights were. And in any case, you can always try to use the Tales of Two Wastelands megamod that transfers FO3 files under FONV and integrates FO3 under the New Vegas engine and rule set.

I forget the actual number, but FONV has roughly 2.5 times as many quests as FO3.

New Vegas better than FO3 in all aspects.

New Vegas is a superior roleplaying game and a superior Fallout title. No need for "Fallout" 3.

The mod list at the bottom of this mod includes a large selection of quest additions that should make the game quite enjoyable without straying to far off vanilla or lore. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/58646/?
