If you don't care which brand system you buy then I assume you are willing to buy new lenses with the body. If this is true then you must be REALLY into "14mm" type shooting or are mentally attached to the 35mm equivalent numbering system. What exactly do you mean by "full frame"? Little by little camera manufacturers are coming out with new 12-20mm type zooms that probably work great but just can't cover a true 35mm frame. These lenses will probably get better over time too.
Bigger sensors do mean lower noise but I really think the camera manufacturers will spend more effort lowering the noise level of the current 1.3x-1.6x sensor either through semiconductor enhancements, new signal processing algorithms or both. This would provide the evolutionary effect of allowing us to use faster ASA/ISO speed film with the same grain. The smaller size lenses would make the camera lighter.
