I looked at both and took home the H3. My reasoning is as follows:
-I liked the H3 because it has more room for someone 6' tall and still offers plenty of room in back seats with front seats all the way back
-driving it feels much better on the streets as that's where I drive it mostly. More comfortable than the jeep.
-Most jeeps on the lots seem to have standard trannys. I wanted an auto tranny. Seems since most people want jeeps with manual tranny so I figured a jeep with an auto tranny might be harder to sell later down the road (JMHO).
-I liked the jeeps covertible options, but probably would have been more trouble than the times I would have actually used it. IE: less security etc. The H3 is my wifes, and we plan on adding DVDs. I didn't see DVD option working out well since the top might be off on the jeep and having to worry about someone stealing them.
-H3 offers more airbags (front & rear curtains) so I don't have to worry as much with the wife & kids in it.
-H3 comes with 100k mile warranty
-H3 makes it easier to carry stuff on the roof which comes in handy when traveling with family

Had the vehicle been for myseslf and not the wife and kids, I would have chosen the 4 door jeep Rubicon
