Having ridden regularly on Airbus and more recently on 737NG (737-700), I think the 737 was both more comfortable and quieter, especially at altitude. Not that it makes a difference, but I would like to see Boeing win the day--I think their airplanes are much better made, and I have been told that Boeing designs their airfames to last 30+ years, while Airbus has a 15-20 year life expectancy.
As stated above, cost of operating a 737 is lower, and I would imagine that comparing a 737-900ER to a 321, the performance alone would make the difference.
That said I think the order will go to the company most willing to drop their drawers on a deal.
