Having a "vanilla" phone is very important to me. I just bought the G2 (US branded HTC phone) specifically because it has the "pure Android" experience. That was an important reason I bought the Nexus One (and would have been a good reason to buy the Nexus S if it wasn't missing some features that are important to me).
Putting customized software on top of Android is the single most important way vendors can differentiate their phones, so don't expect that to change anytime soon. Otherwise, there is not much difference between the hardware - as many of the current crop of phones share very similar specifications.
