Well, iPod is really the leader of the mp3 market (and probably will be for a while, if not always). However, Zune does look like a decent competitor.
One good thing about Zune is that it has a large screen. However, this screen is not very useful with the small selection of videos currently on the Zune Marketplace. iTunes has a large selection of videos and movies for you to put on your iPod.
The Zune is also a bit cheaper, but not by much (it was something like $20 less).
iPod comes in two models (for the video)- 30 gb ($250) and 80 gb ($350). This is a bigger selection than with Zune, which has only 30 gb.
Now looking at the music stores for each- I definitely like the way Zune Marketplace is set up. It allows you, for $10 a month, to have access to unlimited music (and videos probably later). This beats iTunes, which only has the pay-as-you-go option ($.99 songs, $2.99 videos, $9.99 and $12.99 movies).
Although, iPod also features new games such as Pacman and Bejewled, so another plus for iPod.
iPod has the most podcasts right now. Of course Zune may catch up, but as of now, iPod is in the lead.
Another point worth mentioning is that Zune WILL and CAN not work with Macs. You can thank Microsoft for that. However, iPod can work with Windows (and of course Macs).
My advice: for now, I would stick with the iPod. As the Zune makes a more defined place in the market, maybe you can buy it. But I would definetly go for the iPod. Good luck and enjoy whatever you choose!

Zune. IPod is Itune specific, Zune is universal.

iPod. Zune, being a product of microsoft is bound to not work.
a positive of the iPod is that it has software designed for it. Zune does not, and therefore is utterly confusing, as most microsoft products tend to be.

iPod if you want to become a whore to Apple and iTunes, Zune if you want to download from multiple sources.
