Can't vote there, as I have only read little from both authors. From what I've seen, Gemmel writes fast-paced, full of action stories but is lacking somewhat in depth, while Eddings' tales are set in a well-developed world, but the storyline is a common one in fantasy worlds, and the telling is slightly on the childish side. However, looking at the books you are considering purchasing, you know you like both authors' works. In which case I would say it doesn't matter which one you buy as the other two will follow soon enough.
