The Sims 3 wins for me.
I didn't play much of Makin' Magic, but gathering the reagents to create the spells felt like it took too much time.
The witches on Sims 2 were very fun and one of the reasons I really got into the game, but having to craft reagents was still there. At least with the Thrones of Light/Darkness and the evil/good witch castles, the witch could go there and craft reagents to last for several weeks. I'm not a fan of the alignment system and I miss some spells from Sims 2 on 3. Tempus Interruptus, Appello Simae and Compello Acceptus (best spell) are awesome.
In The Sims 3, the witchcraft was divided into the alchemy skill for those that like gathering reagents and the spellcasting skill itself, so I like it much more. Also, I like being able to disguise my sim as a regular sim, the different wands and traveling on brooms. The only negative part is the ridiculous time it takes to level the spellcasting skill.
