I have a Vodafone HTC Magic now for a little while, and I love it. However, if I had a choice now of getting a Droid or a Magic, I'd probably go for the Droid (or Milestone in Europe) - mainly for the better hardware and screen resolution. The only thing I like better about the Magic are the physical Android control buttons (home/menu/back/search) - I just disliked touch buttons on most phones I've encountered so far.
With Android, you want to have a data plan (as with most smartphones, anyway). It is a fair bit costly, but enables a lot of nice things - I use mobile browsing every time I have to wait in a queue or drive in public transport, as well as Google Reader, GMail, Facebook and many other online apps. Also, effortless sync with Google services (contacts, calendar, gmail) is a very nice feature, and works seamlessly.
