Netflix or Blockbuster?

I like to watch movies, and though I don't have as much time to relax with a good DVD as I would like, I still manage to work in about 2 per week. Lately I've been thinking about joining one of the "by mail" DVD clubs, specifically Netflix or Blockbuster.

I know Netflix has been around a long time, but Blockbuster is such a big name that I wonder if perhaps I should go with them. I have no experience either way, so I could use some suggestions. Does anyone here use either of these services, and if so, what do you think of them?

My vote is Netflix. I think they have better service. Blockbuster is trying to move in and own that market, like they did with the mom and pop video stores. But Netflix may have sufficient market to stay around long term. I always root for the underdog, anyhow. :-)

You've talked me into it, Netflix it is! :)

Plus, Blockbuster has a number of lawsuits going now with respect to the 'no late fees' stuff. If you are 'late' by seven days, they charge you for buying the movie. No late fee. You just bought it! Not sure if that works on the 'by mail' version.
