| Which set do you think will be worth more in the future, 9516 Jabba's Palace,
or 75309 UCS Republic Gunship? They're both about the same right now, although
the Palace is worth a little more. Also, which one do you think looks better
on display? They both have advantages and disadvantages.

What are you buying for. Investment or building? If investment, buy a current
set.
If you are building, are you more prequel or original trilogy? Which set do
you like and which goes best in your display area with your current collection?
Go for that one. They are both good display sets, but with so many personal variables,
the better one depends in you.

Great questions!
Though the idiom “apples and oranges” leaps to mind. In other words, they are
incompatible for any sort of honest comparison, imho.
-One is a newer set, the other older with 10 years of price settling.
-One was designed for display (UCS), the other for play.
-One's value is held in minifigures, the other's is not and never will.
“will be worth more in the future?”
How far into the future? Worth more as an asset? In which case: new-sealed, parted,
used, etc?
The only definitively answer I can offer, is to your “which one looks
better on display” question... which is in this case, is perhaps the apropos
question to ask yourself. Without a doubt it's the gorgeous Republic Gunship.
A stunning beauty! (like my ex-wife, though far less costly )

If my choice of investment was between a set at retail price or one that had
already seen a 200% increase in value it wouldn't be a choice at all.

9516 retired a long time ago and generally speaking the sets tend to increase
the most the first few years after their retirement. Altough Jabba's Palace
increased a lot as you can see here: https://brickfact.com/de/sets/lego-star-wars-jabbas-palace-9516
in recent years.
So as an investment you should buy rather buy the Republic Gunship though it
will not retire this year.
