I fell thatunless you are playing with a lawful good party (in witch case neither is a good option), you should crave for xp. I disagree with what is said earlier about xp.
Wehen you join the thieves, you got to destroy the vamps and vice-versa. There are more Shadow Thieves to kill tham vampires, but each vamp is worth 8500 (forget about the vamp master and the Aran guy - they are worth the same amount of xp - 14000). There is No way that there are as many thieves to match this amount os xp (each 1400xp). The itens you can get in each guild does not change with you decision (Mace of disruption, ring of pickpocket, etc). The only thing useful you lose joining the thieves is Aran´s elven chain + 1 (AC 4). If I´m right it does not impairs magic skills.
It does not make sense to say that if you join the vamps you get to destroy both guilds (in terms of xp), because if you join the thieves you get to destroy the vamps twice
