Radio music wise, Fallout 3 wins by a small margin for me. There were more tracks overall and the playlists were made well enough to where they didn't get too repetitive. With the small amount of tracks New Vegas has, the playlists get more and more repetitive. I mean, "Big Iron" is a great song and all, but it gets kind of annoying hearing it 4 times in one hour.
Now ambient music is a much different story. New Vegas's ambient music just demolishes Fallout 3's. The music never feels out of place and just helps to draw you in, unlike Fallout 3's. Not to mention that it never gets repetitive like Fallout 3's did. And how could you forget that New Vegas actually includes ambient music from Fallout 1 and 2? I couldn't help my spine from tingling after I heard the track "Underground Troubles" from Fallout being played when I entered the hotel in Primm. Even hearing "City of Lost Angels" being played while entering Primm was amazing. I mean, you have the awesome new music created by Inon Zur, plus the timeless ambient tracks from the past Fallouts that made you feel like you really were in a wasteland. How does that not beat Fallout 3?
