This is a very tough question and one I have given a bit of thought to before. To be 100% honest I'd have to say the Speciale for all the non-enthusiast reasons. Hopefully I will avoid crucifixion but could be in danger here!
The reason being they are both amazing cars but they achieve it in different ways. And the reason I'd say the Speciale is because it's ways suit me more. The GT3RS is definitely more of the driver's car. It is manual, it is raw and it has a ton of feel. The steering feel is amazing, the engine sound, the manually shifting gears are all great. And on the track you have to work if you want to go fast. It doesn't have that all encompassing feeling of just being damn fast no matter how good you are, it is faster the better you are. But off the track, and not at 10/10ths is doesn't always feel exciting. There is pent up energy, but it is pent up.
The Speciale on the other hand feels exhilarating at all times and at all speeds. The cabin feels amazingly exotic and the engine is truely amazing. If someone said to me what would you like this engine to do better I really don't think I could come up with a single thing. Just cruising around it doesn't feel like you are doing it a massive dis-service, it still feels exciting. And when you do play with it it makes you feel like an F-ing rockstar. It is so easy yet it makes you feel like you did it.
To use a sporting analogy I would say each one is like you join a World Cup football/soccer squad. With the Speciale the car does all of the work and sets-up the perfect pass for you to put it in the back of the net but when you do it looks and feels spectacular. You get the elation without necessarily being the greatest. The GT3RS passes you the ball in your own half and says if you can beat 3 players and the goalie to score you will feel amazing. One is definitely more earned, but comes less frequently. And since the majority of my use is on the roads it is harder to find the opportunities to exploit.
To use another analogy you are put in the room with a bunch of supermodels and someone offers you a choice. They can give you a bunch of un-fair advantages so you can basically win any of them over you want whenever you want. Or you can slog it out to see if you can succeed all on your own. A lot of people will say they are willing to accept failure and hardship to reap the greater feeling of success. Personally I'd just sleep with all to supermodels and not be too cut up about it. (Not that I'd ever do that of course because my wife is the love of my life and more beautiful than any other woman etc etc
).
I could probably write pages and pages trying to capture it properly but I will stop there.
