Have to say, as a book (or "as a literary work") Angels and Demons was better in my opinion (although Da Vinci Code had a much more interesting backstory and hence perhaps more interesting), but based on the trailers and what little I've heard of the movie Angels and Demons is a bit more action-oriented, which would make (the premise) for a worse movie...
The movie is set after The Da Vinci Code (since there are references to Angels and Demons in The Da Vinci Code novel which was taken out in the movie).

Angels and Demons is also a good movie, I thought the action and tension from the book wasn't used to its full potential through out the whole movie but it was still really fun. Now I'm eager to read (and eventually see) The Lost Symbol.
