I saw the first entry of each trilogy in the theater and never went back to see the rest. In this regard, I suppose they’re on an equally bad footing.

But at the risk of incurring a new wall of text by our good friend Dagenpsear, it might be true to say that I disliked the ST less. This is because I found the PT so disappointing that my enthusiasm for new SW films was radically diminished; so TFA couldn’t dash my hopes and expectations in the way TPM did because, by that point, I didn’t really have any. And as uninspired as TFA may have been in several respects, it didn’t really have much that set my teeth on edge the way TPM did. Damning by faint praise to be sure, but still, another point in favor of the ST!
