Both are great, just go with the one that is best tailored to your budget. If your budget is, say $1500, you can get the Rebel, some sweet CF cards, and a decent lens or two. But if you get the 20D kit, you'd be lucky to have enough left over for a 1gb CF card. Of course, you could always get a Nikon D70...But if you are just going to be taking snapshots, I don't know if $1500 worth of gear is really worth it...
