Gnome.
Though... they're of course incredibly similar, and whichever you pick
you probably end up installing half of the other anyway as certain
applications will make use of either KDE or Gnome libraries.
It's very personal. Personally I think the 'feel' of Gnome is better
(can't even say 'look & feel' because you can make the look virtually
the same.
And a lot is not really rational.. Like my first experience with KDE was
with 'Geek-O-Rama' linux distributions that came up looking utterly
rediculous by default.
Compare that with more mature distributions like Ubuntu which present a
much more restrained environment using Gnome, though I bet you could use
KDE and not have it look like it was designed by a Japanese anime bunny
on LSD.
