I definitely enjoyed SMG2 more than SMG1
there were a lot of really brilliant levels in SMG2, and linear/open are not words synonymous with bad/good anyway (unless your purpose is to do one and in execution it ends up being the other, but the levels of SMG2 were very clearly designed with linearity in mind and they were done so well)

I'm not just talking about the levels, though; everything that made SMG interesting outside of the level design was stripped away. I enjoyed the hub world in SMG1, and I liked how it was set up; how there were toads running around, and how Luigi would show up occasionally, etc. SMG2 had some interesting levels, but there was pretty much nothing else memorable to the game. SMG1 had pretty good levels AND a much better setting and aesthetics, which is what puts it on top for me.
