I've heard some amazing things about Transistor and have it installed on my machine to play it soon(ish). However I've spent around 12h on Bastion(replayed it 3 times, that's how good the game and its replay value are) so I feel like I must recommend Bastion over anything (at least until I play Transistor and can give you a more subjective opinion).

I'm the kind of person that always likes to start at the start so I vote for Bastion. I haven't played Transistor yet though.
I'm very critical of games. Even when I enjoy a game overall I will constantly complain about things that could be improved. Bastion is one of the few games I find myself not complaining. I'm not saying it's the best game in the world but what it does it does well. Gameplay, Art, Music, Voice Acting. All great.

I played both. Bastion's my personal favorite, but they're both awesome.

In my opinion Bastion is much more of a solid game, with story, characters and gameplay wise (while not inovating it works).
Transistor art is great, story is nice. I do have 2 issues with Transistor, first that game begged for more world development, you get to know stuff but not enough and Combat system is innovative but weak, it is not polished for my taste, although i may be in the minority here.
Start with bastion, if you like it and want more Transistor will be a good choice to follow up and you will probably like it.

Got both, but for some reason haven't been able to get into Transistor yet.
Bastion feels much more pick-up & play, probably because it's a bit simpler in terms of mechanics.

Bastion is a great game you should've played at one point in your gamer's life.

I would say they are both worth buying. Both have really good soundtracks that I keep in my phone.
(available on youtube which means you don't have to buy)

If I had to choose one, Bastion.
I feel the story is ever so slightly better, I think the characters are fleshed out a little more, and you get a slight modicum of choice about the ending.
The gameplay is faster paced in Bastion, I didn't like how Transistor removed one of your skills if you lost all your health in combat, but the customization was better in Transistor.
I also like Bastion's soundtrack slightly better and Bastion's voice acting.

Both are wishlisted for a long time, i can get only one of them now.. I feel closer to the Bastion because it is released earlier.. Why should someone pick one over the other one ?
