I'm debating getting into Stargate.

It stands well enough on its own. It would be more rewarding to watch SG1 seasons 1 - 7 before it though, since it does branch out of a storyline from that show (That, and SG1 is one of the best sci fi shows ever made, of course)

SGU

You can start with sga but you are missing out on a lot of world building. All the tech that they had in latter seasons og sg-1 and into sga, you can point to an episode(s) where it was discovered or developed, You really get to feel like you are watching the growth of a space-faring civilization. So when they finally get to making these advanced ships, you can look at them and see all the inspiration from previous ships, all the histories and backstories of all the different reactors, weapons, and even down to the metal the ships are made from.
