I personally would get the Quicksilver.

 

It is the noisier out of the two and the slowest, however it is the most upgradable. Want USB 2.0? Can't have it on an eMac. It's a PCI card on the Power Mac

 

Want 802.11 g or n WiFi, put a compatible PCI card in the Quicksilver. USB only in the eMac. Want to upgrade the CPU. Can do on the Quicksilver, no can do on the eMac.

 

Leopard can be installed by default on the eMac, but only with a hack on a 733 quicksilver.

 

In all fairness though, it may be worth looking at an Early Intel Mac Mini that will be faster.
