Dear Eugene,
I have used both and currently i'm doing some stress tests in both of them, I think the best solution is to combine them, SER is excellent for the SIP stuff, can work as a SIP proxy and whatevere else you want with the modules which supports (sms gw etc) Asterisk in the other hand works fine as a SIP to ISDN/CAPI Gateway and an IVR system (better and faster compared with the sems+ser solution until version 0.8.12).
Regarding the underlying code SER is a reference for any programmer out there, it is very good written and includes some excellent methods for faster execution. Asterisk as far i know is almost a one man show and the code it is not so nice written (for sip you can check the code channels/chan_sip.c and you will understand what i mean) so it is more difficult to add some staff there for the near future compared with SER which can be maintained more easily.
