I do not own either black or white version, but through a friend I personally find black version to be more suited for my taste, although i like mascot of pokemon white better. (cough*>_>zekrom) I liked black city more than white forest. plus the fact the fact the techno version music of opelucid city sounds more awesome than the more natural, tame version found in pokemon white.
all in all, my vote goes to black.

Black: Futuristic, Black City, Reshiram and other version exclusive pokemon
White: Nature, White Forest, Zekrom and other version exclusive pokemon

now if only Reshii didn't have that crotch-fuzz thing... >_>;;
I wish ZoruaZoroark wasn't event-only though...

and there will be no "Gray Version" but a third version is still a possibility

Grey Version

^ Why is there no Gray/Grey version, give your reasoning.

There will be. It'll be the updated 3rd version (like yellow, crystal, emerald, or platinum) that has features that work on the 3DS. Don't take my word for it. I'm only speculating.

Pokemon Grey ;646; <---(it'll work when they implement the Kyurem sprite smiley...)

Why so serious?
I voted for Black because it will be my main game. White will be my side game that I restart on. I prefer Black because I think Reshiram looks more like a dragon than Zekrom, who looks more mechanical.

Black here. Black is my all time favorite color, plus, Reshiram being a fire type, and I love fire..it's just too freakin' awesome :D

White because

A - Prefer Zekrom over Reshiram
B - Girlfriend wanted black version so intead of buying 2 blacks, 1 black 1 white and trade version exclusives between each other....

And they say romance is dead..

White. Because Zekrom could possibly check the powerful Uber force Kyogre, while Reshiram would be blasted silly.

White, Though I'm not a fan of Zekrom, I have a thing for Electric Pokemon, plus I like White Forest Better.

I chose White because my roommate wanted to get Black. Originally I did too, but I think I'm happier this way. Besides, I'll probably get Black eventually too.

My favourite
I chose white because of Zekrom, Solosis line and the other exclusives, White forest and Iris as gym leader.

However, since I don't have any other friends who plays pokemon, I'll be stuck with my starting White forest-pokemon (Aron, Mareep and Rhyhorn. meh)

White, because of Zekrom, not having to ever encounter that stupid Gothia Pokemon in the wild (it's so ugly, who is responsible for it?) and White Forest- you can get 101 more Pokemon in White Version than in Black (the 100 in White Forest including evolutions. Also, Illumise can breed and therefore you can get Volbeat making it 101.)

White, purely because of these things:
1) Zekrom-way cooler looking than Reshishram
2) Triple battles look better than Rotation
3) White forest lets you catch the basic pokemon rather than battling its evolved forms
4) Thunderous is Thunder + Flying rather than just flying

Black, most people will get White for the White Forest, Zekrom and Solosis (not to mention getting a Bagon in the White Forest!). You always need someone with the less picked version for exclusives White doesn't get and so that's what went into buying the Black Version.

This is the first time since Ruby did i get one of two versions. Last Pokemon game i played before Gen V was Platinum version. I didn't see the need to get HG or SS since it didn't improve upon much (unlike Black/White, which is a Godsend when it comes to the gameplay changes) and i already played Gold version so.....yeah.
