It all depends

TTDPatch is currently more stable
but
OpenTTD has more features and is easier to edit.

Plus OpenTTD has working Multiplayer support (not just 2 players, but up to 8 companies, which can be cooperatively operated by multiple users)

Ohh I see, so most of the features that was/is in the patch are now a part of OTTD aswell?
But I suppose all aren't so my next question is, if I start playing OTTD what features will I miss from the patch?

I think most features from TTDPatch 8 months ago are implemented in OpenTTD now. Some of the more advanced GRF stuff since then isn't implemented yet, and recent innovations like path-based signalling aren't there yet, but if you haven't played with them yet, you won't miss them. Give them both a try, see how you like it. ;)

and for me OTTD has got no soul ... well I played it, and I was rather fell like I am playing other game, simmilar to TTD(+TTDPatch) but rather something diffirent ... it's hard to explain ... but it's just fake, messy, imitation for me, nothing more

I'll agree with that - probably when the patch slows down and OTTD overtakes it - but that won't be for a while though :D.
