Hmm... It's tough. Taking out my own bias and technical issues with Sims 3, I feel that Sims 3 did a lot to advance the Sims series and was an ambitious game, at least.
Both Sims 2 and Sims 3 have their strengths and weaknesses/flaws, and each has something different to offer, so it depends on what features I am in the mood for.
I personally prefer the more challenging gameplay, some features and details (like working home businesses and working bakeries and restaurants), and the more close-knit family gameplay feel of Sims 2.
Sims 3 added open world, beautiful huge worlds, improved CAS, customization options like CASt and CAW, and a lot of great expansion content and lots of (albeit expensive) store content.
Even though I am not as engaged with Sims 3, I would still acknowledge its strengths and ambitious progression for the series.
So, I have to be objective and say that the for the good of the series, and for encouragement of some sort of progression:
I think Sims 3 did good overall for the series in leading the way for advancement and progression of the sims games.
(I still love Sims 2 more in some areas because it did better in giving more complexity/difficulty, more small details, and giving more life to Sims and family play. Sims 2 sims had more heart and charm for me, personally.)
