The Eric Bana one ends with Banner hiding from the government in the Amazon, which is where the Ed Norton one begins.  Therefore, sequel.

All the actors are different, though, and the origin is completely different.  Therefore, reboot.

Why are WE the fans torturing logic to try and fit marketing labels on movies?

Here's what these words really mean.

  • SEQUEL: Let's make another one! Maybe it'll even have some continuity!
  • REBOOT: I can't think of any more ideas! Let's do another origin! Grittier this time!
  • REIMAGINING: Lets have Tim Burton do the remake!
  • PREQUEL: I'm out of ideas! Let's do an origin! Maybe it'll even have some continuity!

 

These words don't easily apply to the stories because they aren't words used by creators, they're words invented and promoted by coorporations.
