I'm really looking forward to Guild Wars, whereas I'm just so-so with WoW. My main gripe with WoW (besides the monthly fee; I don't have any major problems with it, but it does add up, especially when one is already paying for broadband access) is that it will likely be drawing from Battle.net for the bulk of its players; Diablo II Battle.net players, specifically.
I don't like the thought of playing an MMORPG with ub4r l33t typ3z!!!111. At least we could take refuge in a private game in Diablo and Diablo II. I'm going to hold off for a few weeks to wait and see peoples' first impressions (besides, that will give Blizzard time to get three patches out the door, in addition to the four that will be applied before the game even ships, Diablo II-style) before I jump in.
Guild Wars, on the other hand, caters to my natural "I-want-to-kill-you-dead" PvP tendancies, and the idea of instanced worlds is very attractive to me. AND there's no monthly fee! AND it looks amazing! What's NOT to like about this game!?
I'll probably play both and stick with the one I like most; my bets are on Guild Wars, but maybe WoW will totally blow me away.
