Being an Ubuntu fanboy, I like Unity. I think Gnome Shell has a lot going for it too, and the gestalt of its appearance is very appealing. But I think Unity is a much bolder experiment.
Unity still has a couple of rough edges for my tastes, but after participating in the Ubuntu Developer Summit in May I'm very impressed with how the project's coming together.
