if you've already programmed both, why not include both? That way the user could choice which design they prefer with the click of a button.

Tabbed is better:
- it organizes things better;
- it uses less space;
- the impact effect is less brutal (at the very first view, a user is encouraged to take in depth with it as it looks easier and simpler);
- it lets you focus on one thing per time, giving you less changes to deconcentrate.
Stacked is better:
- general view;
- user doesn't need to switch between tabs to see the whole content, he finds everything without doing anything;
- it lets you focus on everything all at once.
Now, these are the pros for each solution, which are mainly (the pros of) one the opposite of (the pros of) the other.
I personally probably prefer tabs, at least for this project, for the pros aforementioned. Just pick your pros-style.
