One quick concern from me: I see that the Update icon in this is going back to the jagged orange splotch. I have yet to see how this represents updating in any way, as it looks more like a bug report. The icon that is currently in the Hardy alphas (with the downward-pointing arrow) is quite a bit more informative.
As for which one I like, I prefer the not etched, simple 2d look. One reason is just personal taste, the other reason is because panel icons are usually like that. For example, if I go and download the latest Pidgin that is built without Ubuntu in mind, I'll have the standard colourful Pidgin icon. Alongside the etched icons it looks really weird. With the flat 2d icons, it blends reasonably well. (Still not perfectly, but better). I like that you use less colour for icons that do not need urgent attention (that should "just work") like the volume control and network info. That way, colour can be used for things to stand out, and the colourful icons that other apps bring with them will be less of a concern since they still fit fairly naturally with the "official" design. Ideally we shouldn't have to worry about this since applications like Pidgin and Liferea should really not be putting themselves in the notification area all the time, but it doesn't look like that will be fixed very quickly.
