I've heard they have better programming and exclusive shows (like Stern,
for example).  While XM has more subscribers total, SIRI's subscriber
base has been increasing much faster.  That, and the buzz around
satellite radio surrounds SIRI more than XM these days.

Please note, however, and DISCLAIMER:  I own stock in SIRI, not XM, so
these views could be skewed.  That said, I have done research on both
companies, and decided to go with SIRI (I was in at 2, out at 3, and now
back in - wish I would have held it since it's at 8 :(
