Satellite Radio

I am not sure that either one is better rather it is more of a personal preference so I would suggest signing up for their free trials via the web to try them both.
I did and went with XM because they seem to offer more music channels than Sirius did. I am also not a big Howard fan and not concerned with listening to NFL on the radio so that didn't draw me to Sirius.
I am happy with XM. This is especially true since I had Sirius in a loaner recently and it lost signal often and I found myself struggling to find something decent to listen to.
Good luck.

XM user here, and I'll never go back to commercial radio again. ABQ is right, it would be better to have it factory installed and integrated with your receiver. Deciding between the two is just a matter of preference. Here's XM's channel line up; XM. There's a lot of channels that I'll never use, but it's still worth it to me.

All of the stations listed as regional news and talk have commercials. I *believe* this was due to some agreement that had to be fulfilled with clear channel. XM did however add other stations to their lineup to cover the genre of the previous stations and these are commercial free.
I also agree with going the stock option route. Your tuner is installed out of the way, you can mount the antenna on the rear deck lid (inside the car), and as others stated it is all integrated up front.
You will enjoy satellite radio! I know I wouldn't want to do without it anymore.
