Personally, I prefer DSL because of the dedicated connection (i.e., you're not directly sharing your connection with every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the neighborhood as with cable). Also, each DSL provider I have used doesn't block important ports. This is crucial if you want to run your own services, which I do.
Alas, I currently use a cable modem because in my city, DSL takes forever to get. Pacific Bell sucks fat eggs when it comes to DSL customer service. It would take a minimum of 3 weeks for them to come over to my place to activate the service. OTOH, the cable company came out two days later, and I was up and running.
Bottom line: go with cable. It's probably cheaper and you'll probably get it hooked up faster. So far I haven't had any problems with bandwidth hogging in the neighborhood (knock on wood).
