This is a difficult question to answer since it really is a matter of taste what kind of look you prefer. And don't forget you can change the look and design of your gnome or kde desktop completely to accroding to your needs and wishes. What I really can say - since I am using gnome for everyday's work for some years now - Gnome has greatly improved stability, perfomance and usability since "old times" of 2.6 or 2.8 . 2.12 is a fast and reliable working enviroment. If you can afford the bandwith and the diskspace you should install both and compare yourself.
