The base bootstrap stuff (all the mixins and basic fonts and whatnot) are superb. Having not used Foundation I couldn't say if it's as good or not. I will say that (sorry to anyone here who prefers Foundation) Bootstrap is a nicer looking UI framework (IMHO) and it's also very actively maintained. That last one means a lot. I have a lot of faith in it being updated and maintained by the Twitter team.
