Which Linux for me, Ubuntu vs OpenSUSE?

I’m a relatively new Linux user. I like both OpenSUSE and Ubuntu but haven’t used either for more than a week. I can do some decent stuff with bash. I need something to completely over rite Windows from my harddrive, and I don’t want anyting that runs IN Windows. I’m currently leaning towards Ubuntu because of its .deb files and extraordinary package management (ex. Synaptic)– I don’t really like YaST. Also, Ubuntu has a much larger community and following. However, SUSE is well-polished. My questions are the usual ones, and I’d like to hear info/input on everybody’s part. Also, does Ubuntu come default with the option of starting with GNOME or KDE and can Compiz work with both of these? How easy is the first installation? I’ve heard of a few bugs with Ubuntu, but I really think the package management (especially for me) is a leaning point towards Ubuntu. Thanks for the help.
