I enjoy both brands. I have three LV bags and two Gucci bags. HOWEVER, that being said, LV bags are EVERYWHERE, so when purchasing mine, I went for special editions which you don't see every day. I have my Stephen Sprouse Roses Speedy (because I LOVE Disney and the roses make me think of Alice In Wonderland lol), my Watercolor Papillon (because I'm an artist and it looks like something Monet may have done), and my Mon-Monogram Speedy, unique obviously because it has my initials and I chose the colors. So as you can see, I didn't go for the every day, I wanted an iconic piece, yet something different that suit my tastes. As for my Gucci bags I just have two Sukey Bostons, one in denim and one in a burlap color. Also styles you don't see every day. One isn't better than the other (
though I don't like one of the lies behind the Gucci design but that's another story). In my opinion they will probably all outlast me, the quality is there in both brands. If you have to hmm and haw too much then you probably just haven't found one that pops out at you yet.
