It's less of a straight out comedy as it's got pathos and a real feel to it that the US one doesn't. Also, like most UK shows, and unlike most US shows, it knew when to quit.
I think it depends on your feelings regarding Ricky Gervais. I don't particularly like him at all tbh so hence I prefer the US version.
I've never seen the US version, and conversely it's mainly because I don't particularly like Steve Carell. I know Ricky Gervais definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea, and I only like him in some things myself, but The UK Office is one of the finest comedies of the last 20 years imo.
