"Te quiero" or "Te amo"

This is actually a complicated question, and needs some context.
First, there's the question of which "you" you are going to use to talk to the person. This varies in different dialects of Spanish, but I will assume that you have relatively little social distance from the person so you'll be using "tú" forms.
Second, it depends on the kind of love you feel for the person. If you feel a very deep, romantic love, "amo" would be the appropriate verb. This is best used for either your romantic partner, or, on special occasions, your mom. It's not the kind of love that people usually mean when they say "I love you". If you have a loving friendship with the person, "quiero" would be a better choice.
Third, whether or not you are going to use a pronoun to refer to yourself depends on the context, and on the emphasis that you are trying to provide. Assuming that you've been talking about your feelings for the person, and that you're not trying to draw any special attention to yourself, I'd recommend "te quiero" (instead of "yo te quiero". Again, you can say "te amo", but this phrase would work best if you are pretty sure that you have a deep love for this person (such as you are married to him/her, for example). You can still say "te quiero" to that kind of person as well.

"Te amo" is the how you say it literally. By saying "Te amo" we usually mean "I'm in love with you" with the exception of filial love (I mean you can also say "Te amo" to your dad, mom, etc.)
"Te quiero" literally means "I want you" but we don't use it like possessive, instead of that it's used to describe an affection feeling less stronger than love.
