Why not both? I have them in my FJ-- You can listen to the best of both.
I thought about it and this whole stereo system thing has taken on a life all of it's own and I'm trying to not push the wife over the edge which she is very close to. I know that I would be happy with one because it is more than what I have now. For being a tech freak I am behind the times in some aspects such as sat. radio and i-pod's but the FJ is getting me back into it. Baby steps, baby steps!

Aside from programming differences, my experience with both in my vehicle is that XM's terrestrial repeater works well in medium to large cities( where they would have the antenna) but XM experiences very few sat dropouts. Sirius , on the other hand loses sat signal frequently.. very frustrating. Sirius dropout is not a vehicle specific problem.. my S550 has the same problem.

I have had Sirius and NEVER had a dropout! You should say that "you" had a problem not Sirius. I drove across the country and all over the place without a problem. I have also had 3 different players without any problem. Maybe you need to install your antenna better.
have had sirius for about 3 years and joined for NPR(xm didnt have it) and also because sirius had a world music station....unfortunately they took my precious world music and now it is 24/7 rolling stones.....ughhhh 24/7 i mean really.....but overall i love sirius..

If you don't like my fire then don't come around cause i'm gonna burn one down (ben Harper)
Howard Stern & NFL = Sirius
Opie & Anthony & MLB = XM
At least thats the main difference from my perspective
Sirius - Bubba the Love Sponge and NASCAR (2007)
XM - Oprah's Station (she does a whole 1/2 hour a week) - Actually the Oprah friends and issues channels.
I have had both - I love Sirius!!
Howard and Bubba are great and Octane ROCKS!!
