I find that LastFM plays me a slightly wider variety of music, but often
from less "popular" (not in the pop music sense) bands.  I also find
LastFM a bit more flexible because of the multi-user tagging system, so
I can say...play me all the songs that people have tagged as "good songs
to listen before going out on Saturday night".  The downside is that
same flexibility - people's tastes vary wildly and you sometimes hear
stuff tagged as "breaks" that is very far from what you consider
"breaks".  

Pandora seems rather better moderated to me (but I rarely hear things
that surprise me on it, whereas that often happens with LastFM).

Obviously Pandora is US only (but there are ways to get round that
apparently).

Also, you don't have to subscribe to LastFM to get the benefits - there
is a totally free option, but you don't get things like personal radio.
