Mugen is my choice. I like their cars & setup over serpents. Other than that they are both about equal.

My pick is Serpent. My reason is simple: I've got one. Are they more expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. I've never owned a Mugen, so I honestly can not compare the 2, all I'm telling you is that I LOVE my Serpent Impulse. It is THE most impressive kit I've ever put together. 2 buddies have HPI's, one has a 4Tec, another has a TC3, and I consistently kick all of their butts (on a track we set up in a big parking lot, from time to time). Mind you, a lot has to do with the driver (not saying I'm that good, just saying that we're all just in it for fun, none of us race competitively).
As far as parts availability, the LHS here carries an extensive parts section for Serpent cars (1/10 and 1/8), and that also made me choose the Serpent.

Although, I'll add this: If you're a newbie to nitro RC, then don't get the Serpent. They are (compared to most kits) difficult to build. They are geared toward more experienced builders and tuners.
