If you're talking aesthetics, it's up to you. I prefer gryphons to wyverns, and prefer proto-drakes or profession mounts to both so once I get a non-racial mount it doesn't matter. As far as gear goes, once you're running around with 25 other players, monitoring enemies, distances, buffs, debuffs, cooldowns, DBM timers, etc - you don't care what your gear looks like.
If you're talking about the variety of gear, Horde and Alliance have the same gear in terms of drops and stats.
Alliance sucking on your realm isn't because alliance sucks, it's because alliance members on your battlegroup aren't very good. Join a different battlegroup and you'll notice something entirely different.
Also, if you constantly join PuG alliance groups, then you're always going in as a PuG, but you may go against a horde premade or a horde PuG. Simplifying the stats a bit, you're looking at 100% PuG vs. 50% PuG + 50% premade. You may win 50% of the time against a PuG, but lose 100% against a premade. So you'll win 25% of the time. Swapping to horde, you always PuG, you'll see similar results. (I know that's a very simple example and ignores a lot of factors, but you get the point).
If you look at the top 10 guilds world-wide, you'll notice horde and alliance are in both. Roll whichever faction you like better, or seems to dominate on your realm.

The grass is always greener on the other side.
As for quality of players, there's no real difference anymore. I remember back when the Horde actually
was
better (and outnumbered 3 to 1)... those were the good old days.DAMN THEM for having greener grass! and Horde FTW

I'm telling you from experience, I've got 80s on the Horde an Alliance; Zul'jin US. Before I leveled anything on the Horde I was convinced the Horde were some kind of surgical strike force.
Now that I run BGs occassionally on me Troll Priest it feels sometimes like the Alliance are the almighty. In bgs, in WG the Alliance almost never win and if they do, they don't hold onto it for long.
It really comes down to preference, although there are, of course differences in skill to some degree between each and every player of each faction on each server.

Going through the armour sets for horde iv'e noticed that more times than not, Horde have either a much cooler variety of gear or just plain cooler gear overall.
How often do Alliance and Horde get different gear? Patch 3.2? Old School PvP sets? Yeah, it happens more often than not...
Another thing is that they get cooler mounts flying and or otherwise.
I would kill for an Elekk, Ram (brewfest hates me) or even a horse. All the cool flying mounts are non-faction specific.
And last but not least PvP, mabye it's just Terenas but when iv'e been on my 10-19 Horde, they seem a lot more organized and less "Get them nubz they have flag get the one with the flag ... L2P".
Battlegroup. On both the battlegroups I've played on, the horde has been more or less on even footing with the alliance.

They have to walk around as cows. They deserve cooler mounts.
BTW i played horde for a year... and always thought alliance had cooler mounts
I play horde since beta and I still wish I could get a Black War Ram :(

Horde are supposed to be the badass fation but cant Alliance get something I mean i'm actually contemplating fction changing because Alliance just seems to well... Suck.
I do realise i'm QQ ALOT but I just thought i'd express my feelings and any critiscm constructive or otherwise would be greatly appreciated.
If your opinions favor the Horde so much, why not play Horde?
