I like these two desktop environments...but I have no idea which one I like better...I'm clueless with which one to stick. Anyone got suggestions?

Whichever one you like better?

Well, with KDEMod3, I can do much of my basic math stuff since I made a packet of the PCLOS addons for Kicker in the upper right hand corner. I still need the color picker to get working though. And I just got it done looking purty.
As for E17, I've tried it and it was great as well...although I could not find a calculator applet for the shelf. I also need to find a substitute for yakuake if I want to use that. File management was sort of awkward though.

Why do you want the community to 'paint your walls'? Just use standalone Openbox or a tiling window manager like all the other smart people. That's my suggestion.

Maybe this works for you (not tested btw) :

Why not keep them both and set up a second user that defaults to one, while the main user defaults to the other? I used to do that with gnome and E17, till I moved on to one of the *Boxes. (OpenBox, if you really want to know.)
The *Boxes take a hell of a lot longer to set up the first couple of times, but after it is set, tweaked, and prettified, they are more functional. (besides, tint2 as a panel is what first made me want to try out OpenBox, and I can't say that I am disappointed in my choice.)
I keep getting distracted from my webserver project...
huh? oooh... shiny!

Well, I like the apps KDE has, but I don't like the fact that KDM keeps freezing on me when I turn my PC on. Entranced hasn't done that to me so far.

That's not accurate at all. Your window manager does not tell people whether you're 'smart' or not

It just tells whether you like WMs only or not. Well, I'd like to say I like a DE/WM that's easy to set up, looks purty, is light, and whose Login manager doesn't keep freezing for no reason.

I'd go with e17-svn from community. kde is too disconnected from the rest of the linux world for me.

Okay. I'll go with both for now and then dump the one that I like less.

Pick whichever one feels most intuitive and natural. A good DE/WM fades into the background and doesn't draw attention to itself, so you can get work done.

Okay. I picked KDEMod. Now to do something about the somewhat freezing login manager.

Replace it with GDM, Entrance (E17's login manager), XDM? Not use a login manager altogether (various ways to do this, there was a thread a little while ago, like for instance setting one console to automatically start X on login)?

Doesn't entrance require the whole e17 kaboodle?
