Suleymaniye, as all Turkish mosques, is basically a Greek Orthodox church with minarets, while the Roman connection is far less certain in Iranian mosques. Both are certainly great buildings in their own right.
I prefer the Suleymaniye. Although it is not as extensively embelished on the outside as the Goharshad mosque and it lacks that beautiful turquoise colour. But then again it looks very imposing when you look at it from far away and works well with its environment. I also prefer its structure of composed of many domes of varying sizes. What is more fascinating is the brightly coloured inside when you look at the inside of the dome.
