The certified trainer at the Kimkins forum says the elliptical because you're working postive/negative resistance so you'll burn more calories -- and sweat more.
She's pretty smart, has 2 master's degrees.

If you are shopping for home equipment and can only afford one or the other then try them out and choose the one you like the best. Getting a machine that you enjoy and will use is better than getting a slight more effective machine that you hate and won't use.
If you are going to work out at the a gym I use a variety of machines (don't forget climbing and rowing machines) for the best overall conditioning and to avoid boredom.
