I prefer Miracle Day over CoE mostly because I felt the actual plot resolution was less "I'm going to shoot myself in the foot in the name of making the audience FEEL" but I wasn't particularly impressed with either mini-series and haven't rewatched them since they aired.
But you touched on one of my biggest gripes about RTD's handling of Jack and that is the fact that Torchwood Jack is not Doctor Who Jack. I could see it coming all the way back in S1 of TW but the fact that the took Jack from pansexual to gay basically for the 'shock' value and sexual politics of having those scenes on tv annoys the hell out of me.

I find S2 to be the high point of TW.
