I know this has been addressed before, but I don't think recently:
I am about to book tickets to see La Sagrada Familia and would like to know the pros and cons of seeing the Passion Tower vs. the Nativity Tower. Plus any other tips about visiting the site you might have. Thank you!

Can't help with the towers, but I know others can.
Go for the earliest possible entry time for the church itself. That way, you'll have some time inside before it gets terribly crowded. Book the tower for a later time (maybe an hour later). If you don't finish seeing the church before you ascend the tower, you can spend more time on the lower level afterward.
There's also a small museum that's worthwhile, especially if you're interested in the design/engineering aspects of the church. Finally, there's (naturally) a gift shop with attractive merchandise. Once you enter the gift shop you cannot return to the church, so be careful about that.
