Hardcore XM subscriber and fan, but basically the two are practically the same. You'll love either one, I believe, as long as you have relatively mainstream music tastes. Not that having non-mainstream music tastes is a bad thing, but from what I know of the programming they're not likely to be your cup of tea.
XM is larger, and in my opinion the only thing keeping Sirius alive is some deep-pocketed and stubborn backers. They've paid a fortune to get some of the things people have listed here as draws for them, and that's probably the only thing that's going to keep them alive long-term. Every Coke needs a Pepsi, and eventually we'll probably see hardware compatible with both.
Look at their programming, special features, hardware (and upcoming hardware), and take a leap. Anything that helps break the stranglehold of FM on the broadcast market is a good thing.
