Depends on why you are getting one...Oral B is great for small mouths and hard to reach areas, the brush head is small and round and it does a great job in crowded mouths too. Sonicare is what I recommend when my patients have gum disease or when they scrub too hard and have gum recession. The brush head sonically vibrates and so it does not wear the gum tissue out. Also it is great for stains. So, depending on what your needs are, that's what you should choose.

Sonicare.
Sonicare Elite is my top choice. There are many different model designations, but the "motors" are all pretty much the same. The kits are different because they pack different accessories. Some have two brush heads and some have four. Some have a travel bag and some have a wall-mount charger instead of a counter top charger. Just read the label carefully and buy what you need. Bear in mind that you will have to replace the brush heads about every six months, so see if it is cheaper to buy a few extra brush heads in one of the kits.
Otherwise, buy a Sonicare, read and follow the directions. The directions are very clear and easy to understand.
Sonicare is especially recommended for someone with braces, by the way.

I've tried a few different kinds of electric toothbrushes and I ALWAYS go back to my Sonicare.

I'm a dental hygienist and have patients ask me the same question. Answer: It doesn't matter which one. Both have sonic action and that is what counts. It helps to vibrate the plaque off the teeth and massage the gums. The next question most ask is if they should get a round head or regular shape tooth brush head. Doesn't really matter either and it is based on patient preference. I personally think the regular shaped head is best because it feels softer on the gums where you can brush higher up on the gum line and reduce recession.
