I've used both and settled on KiCAD. I have customers that use Eagle,
so I have the most recent versions installed and use it on a regular
basis as well.
Both Eagle and KiCAD have their quirks. There are a lot of library
components for both. This isn't much of a factor for me because I
always seem to build my own for projects. I find building KiCAD parts
easier than Eagle, though I've heard others claim exactly the opposite.
Eagle has a larger user base and therefore support community. KiCAD has
a smaller, but very effective support community.
My recommendation is give KiCAD a try. The real cost for either package
is the learning curve, and I think KiCAD is easier to get productive in.

I'd be interested to hear from users, whether partisan or neutral, who
have recent experience with *both* packages (Eagle 6 or 7 *and* KiCAD

Best regards,
