SnG's have been much more profitable for me. In the 27 tourneys I have in Poker Tracker, I'm up over $500, mostly from $30+3 single table SnG's. This is in less than a month. I have 7 1sts, 4 2nds, and a couple of thirds, so I'm in the money almost 50% of the time in those 27 SnG's. It's a small sample, but I plan to continue testing it. 
Generally, I find the SnG's to be pretty easy to get into the money, since there are always a couple of gamblers who go all-in head to head on the first few hands of the tourney. Actually, the last two tourneys I played I busted two guys out early who were calling my made hands with draws. Doubling up early helps you coast into the money.
For me, SnG's prevent me from getting impatient. They generally last less than an hour, so I'm rarely forcing hands early. Later, about the time I might start pressing in a ring game, the table is shorthanded, so you're playing more hands anyway.
I like SnG's because I can rarely make 2x, 3x, or 5x my money in an hour at a ring game, but it's a given if you get into the money in a SnG. It's also easy to lose your buy-in in that amount of time, too, but I've often done that in ring games as well. A word of warning: make sure you have the bankroll. The profits can pile up fast, but being out of the money for four or five tourneys in a row can add up quickly.
