I'm a lightroom fan myself, but I look at aperture from time to time to see how its doing, I would say they are both very good programs, and its entirely down to personal taste which one suits your style of working more. Both are available as trials, so you have nothing to loose before deciding on which one you like.
In my case (and one of the reasons lightroom suits me more) is that my photos only stay in lightroom for importing, they either end up in the trash, in photoshop for further touch-up and or printing, or in iphoto as high quality jpeg for looking at. So I still have an important place for iphoto, but I don't use it for any importing or touching up, just as a library. In a similar vein with music, I use itunes as a library for all my music and playing it, but I never purchase anything in the itunes store, and I rip all my cds using cdparanoia and title them manually.
