Hi, going to get iPhone 5S and iPad 5. Not sure what GB size.

Context :

Student, at college. Work with lots of photos. Have 2Gb in textbook pdfs. Have about 15 gb itunes library, but mainly listen to about 4gb of that. Plan on having a fair few movies on the iPad. Take alot of photos on iPhone. Not crazy on apps, but like to have the entire iWork/iLife suit.

If you take lots of photo's and only had the two above options then I'd say go with more space on the iPhone (32GB).

Although personally I'd rather go 16GB on both, save the extra $300, and simply manage my photos via computer, an external hard drive, or the cloud.

I've always gone with a 16 gig iPhone and a 32 gig iPad.

But I'm not someone that needs all my music/photos on my phone, either. It just depends on how you manage your media, IMO.
