It's like you guys want me to pick or something... I think the issue is that we're all cool with both, and nobody wants to be the guy to say "we should play this!" and put anybody on the other side out. As I said, if I have a preference, it's for Eberron. SAGA, for all that it got right, still basically leaves non-Jedi as the "odd man out"

My final vote also sides (slightly!) with Eberron.

Having listened to what everybody's had to say, I'm going to continue going with Eberron. PM me with character concepts, sheets, and the like, people! If you need help understanding the setting, TVTropes gives a decent overview of the thematic elements of the setting:
I might try and schedule a preliminary get-together to test Tinychat out, as well, more details on that as it develops.

Are you wanting characters generated at this point? Any special guidelines? Point-buy, etc? Also, how many players are you taking? Who all's expressed interest?

Character pitch... pitched...
House Orien (human) scion with no stomach for the lifestyle, adventuring to get away from an overbearing family. Kind of a nerd (though a likable one) more at home with his playthings than with people.
For those that don't know, Artificers are weak pseudo-spellcasters with very limited combat ability, but they're expert craftsmen and make good skill monkeys (i.e. they have Trapfinding)

Oh, and I can't recommend enough the Eberron book trilogy "The Dreaming Dark" Wonderful series, even if it does end rather abruptly and with a pretty stupid revelation.

T.T *bawls* Well..psions the last, i just have no idea how dnd is going to work here @_@ ... reminds me of that cartoon they put out around the release of D&D 4... <DM> You've just entered the dungeon, when... <Cleric> Do I see a dragon? <DM> You're first level, you... <Cleric> Do. I. See. A. Dragon??? <DM> You've just entered the dungeon! <Cleric> There is no dragon? That's it, they've ruined D&D, Wizards of the Coast is a bunch of money grubbing WHORES! <DM> I take it back. There is a dragon. It eats the cleric and flies away. Everyone else is fine. (Of course it turned out to be considerably less funny when after several months of play it became obvious that they HAD ruined D&D...)

Oh! But you can be a Barbarian/Sorcerer from the island where all the dragons hide out and become a Dragon Disciple (PrC from the DMG). That turns you into a pseudo-dragon.

I will be submitting a Rogue.
Fortunado: yes, he named himself. He's an elf, orphaned and grown in the shadows of Sharn, the greatest city in the world. He's a city-elf, through and through. Street smart, cynical, but fun-loving and a secret romantic. He's scraped by as a thief on the mean streets all his life, but he dreams of more. Charismatic and quick, Fortunado always wanted to be a great warrior, but he makes the best of the opportunities that come his way. He sees himself as a dashing, witty hero, saving damsels and slaying villains. In truth, he's more likely to rob the damsel and work for the villain, but even a lowly cutpurse can dream, right?
