Hi,
I had a 1DMKIII for four years. At a given moment, I had both a 5DMKII and a 1DMKIII in my bag.
I am not a pro, so I ended up using one over the other, and the 5DMKII produces better files, that simple. If ultimate quality is your concern, the decision is easy. When I bought the 5DMKII, the 1DMKIII was used when I needed speed. ( I must admit that now I travel a bit scared of breaking my now only body on the first day)
The screen of the 5DMKII is MUCH, MUCH better than the 1DMKIII. Not only you can judge focus on the 5dMKII screen, but manual focus is also much easier. I shoot some MF lenses, and liveview on the 5DMKII is a tool whereas on the 1DMKIII is a toy in comparison
Notwithstanding the 5D MKII produces better CR2 files, the feel of a 1D series is just amazing, wish my 5DMKII were encased in that body. ( that camera currently exists, but it costs 6,500$)
For portraiture and landscape photography FF cameras are much better. However, if you plan to shoot action, the 1D is far better
Many people will tell you that both cameras complement each other, and it's true. The new 1DX is a dream come true, the one and only camera suited for anything.
If you are starting form scratch, GO NIKON!
Good luck
