Hey 
I've used flickr for a short while now, and I quite like it not only for the community aspect, but also for inspiration. But I find it's hard to find other images that aren't already popular, and popularity seems to come from circle-jerk groups with comment-swapping and whatnot. It's all a little shallow really.
I recently signed up to 500px, and the visibility of your images is phenomenal compared to flickr. I quite like the layout, and the comments/likes system all seems a bit more honest. But I'm missing the groups aspect of flickr, the ability to view photos by people with the same camera, and the ability to view images by a map search. Maybe it's there but I haven't found it yet?
The other thing I've found is that 500px is rather NSFW. If I want to peruse images on my lunch, it has to be flickr. Half the adult content on 500px isn't marked as such, and there seems to be a lot of it!
What's your preference?
