Generally speaking, and I'm a bit biased, the TinyOS code is much more solid and efficient. But you're right that Contiki has a more active developer community. The TinyOS code that's there is rock solid, but our user-facing side could be better. Also, more active development on MCU and RFIC advances would be great.
I'm interested in the comment that following the installation instructions doesn't work; I had a student start playing with TinyOS and he said he was startled at how trivial and easy it was to get up and running.
