Should my next project be in Java or C#?

Java of course, so much better documented and longer development time.

The question is useless. How about you tell us about what you're trying to do, your technical skillset, how you want to distribute the game, if you want to make money off it, etc? In my opinion, C# is better from a pure language design standpoint, but after all that's not what you asked: there are so many other considerations to be made depending on your situation.
Also: technical forum.

Maybe it's just the overcomplicated version of flipping a coin?  |

I was taught how to program on Java, but I've done my best work with C#, how does this help you? I have no idea.

I was not taught in Java, and I have not done my best work in Java. What I can tell you is this: I don't see why anyone would waste precious vertical space by giving the opening brace main function its own line class. For the record, I believe strongly in opening brace rights including the right to a new line.
I voted for C# even though I'm not fond of XNA's compatibility issues, but if you really do like Java, then go ahead and use it. At least it's "cross-platform."

This is now a Java vs C# thread!

The only real reason I see for Java is that Java is cross platform, while C# is mostly tied to Windows?

I've been thinking to give C# with the Tao framework a try sometime, but I haven't really looked into it very deeply yet.
On the other hand, there is also a good handful of game libraries for Java available.
I'm considering either for my "not Flash" language to learn currently.

All XNA is C#, but not all C# is XNA.(well I guess excluding shaders, but you know what I mean)

I'm gonna say C# with SFML. Cross platform library and I'm fairly sure that the games are, might need Mono though for the Mac and Linux.

I'd sat C# since it's like Java but with much better access to hardware. Although if you want to port over to linux then java probably best way to go. I personally had some speed issues in java but it was an MMO game.

Real programmers use butterflies, though. |

And what will real programmers use when spinning media has become obsolete? Obsolete butterflies? How about: opcodes in nano
