The North Rim is both less crowded and more interesting, in my opinion. I've been there twice and you will totally get the whole experience. The things that makes the South Rim different from the North are: 1) Steeper drop from the rim to the Colorado River; 2) The South Rim is at a slightly lower elevation than the North, so the canyon seems slightly larger, but at the same time the North feels a bit "deeper"; and 3) The North Rim is heavily forested. Point 1 doesn't really make the canyon more or less impressive, the scale is so large you're not going to be paying attention to the slope of the sides. Point 3 is actually a huge plus for the North Rim in my opinion. It's a bit cooler, and the variety in the landscape is really enjoyable. The only real downside of the North is that it's closed during the winter.

Bryce is nice ( ) but it has really, really gotten swamped with crowds. I was there in the early 90's as a kid, and it was a totally different experience. Having been back a few times since then, I'm always disappointed at the size of the crowds. Too close to Vegas for it's own good.
