I have been using both M2Eclipse and Q4E for a while. Both have features that I like and use.
I would really prefer to have one Eclipse plugin with the best features of both, however if competition between the two results in better support for Maven in Eclipse that will ultimately be a win for Eclipse developers. The indexing and search features in M2Eclipse are currently much better (Q4E developers are working on this for a future release). The very useful view dependencies and analyze dependencies features in Q4E are not currently available in M2Eclipse. And so on ... As a result of the split set of features, I just switch back and forth by enabling/disabling dependency management for each plugin. As of the 0.6 dev release of Q4E an 'm' icon is affixed to the Eclipse project so that you can tell that the project is enabled with Q4E -- a similar icon has been available for some time in M2Eclipse. Over time both plugins will likely improve -- we will just have to stay tuned.
