I think "both" would probably be the most unrealistic option of all three-I'm figuring they either wouldn't do it, or it wouldn't turn out as swell as we think. It's not that I haven't fancied the idea before myself, but I just am guessing that the systems of the two companies would clash and fail to work out.
I personally prefer Obsidian out of the two, their writing is so much amazingly better, and that's more important to me than a sandbox world or supposedly funny, gory scenes. Far more so. Just as it is more important, to me, than graphics. I've had my fair share of googling at pretty graphics, but it's not my priority. More so, I have a fear(based on their history, and the fact none of them come from or have researched as much as they should have into the Fallout series) that they will never reach the skill of writing and understanding of the Fallout world that Obsidian has, or originality for that matter. While they might make an acceptable Fallout 4, I've begun to doubt that they'll make an awesome Fallout 4 in comparison to Obsidian's work.
However, as others have said, Bethesda will have a 99.99%(with a repeating mark on that last sign) chance of likelihood in doing Fallout 4, if they aren't developing it already. I could only hope I'm wrong that they haven't picked up the traits they need to, or that they'll let Obsidian continue to work on future Fallout games. Maybe not the new "main series," but a side series or something of the like. Even that would be fine. Or, better, both.
