Gonna get the Space Grey.
Love the Gold, but I prefer a black bezel/surrounding around the screen - more immersive and less intrusive than a white border.
Also, black seems more 'professional' and suitable for professionals, than the white.

Woooooooooot! Was within my 14 day return window and just happened to come across a GOLD 64 gig and so at last I get the phone I've been been seeking...traded in my 32GB silver. Couldn't be happier 
Gold for me. With no black & slate color like my iPhone 5 I didn't really care which color. Although I went into the Apple Store expecting to get Space Gray. I just happened to ask him if they had any Gold 32gb ones, when he actually said yeah, I decided I'll get it. As he went to go get it I was thinking in my head do I really want this one? He said "congrats on the new phone" and I was like OK...I like it. iOS 7 seems more suited for a white front, but I miss my black & slate option. That was bad
I was so shocked on launch day when the last model available here was the 16g Space Grey. I thought that would be the single most popular model of the launch; maybe it was, and it was just a supply chain success?
I know a lot of people might say the higher capacity models would be more popular, but I think for the average consumer they just want the new iPhone at the cheapest price.
I got mine yesterday. It's a 64 GB gold edition. I used a Android-phone before with a screen of almost 5 inch but I don't regret that I got this now. Now I'll never worry about internal space.
It works fast and very well. I tried other phones too, such as Sony Xperia Z1 (to big, can't fit in my hand), Samsung Galaxy S4 (not rubbish but not not for me), and LG G2. I almost bought G2 because it really had gorgeous screen, but, I couldn't live with their UI or SMS-layout. And the sound in speakers and when I've put headphones was not so good. And the camera was not as good as this one.
Overall, great phone got even better.

I bought the space grey. The black face goes well with my yellow case. Nice color combo IMHO. I bought one of those beautiful yellow leather cases. Goes great with the black. Why should color matter if you're just going to get a case for it? I'm sure we all will get a case for our iPhones. I just don't get that they have all the colorful phones when there are colorful cases. Just my 2 bytes....
My husband and I went to the Apple store on Monday night to see if they could resolve his iphone 5 issue. It just died suddenly and it was two months passed it's warranty, of course. So what did we have to do then? Well buy a new gold iphone 5s of course. Yeah, right there on the spot. And since we were doing that for him I thought I'd help my son out with his issue of a really bad cracked up iphone 4 and use his upgrade line (he is currently jobless and I pay for his phone, so I felt entitled to it) to get myself a new gold iphone 5s too and pass on my newer iphone 5 to my son, who now is thrilled to have a newer phone that is both faster and in great condition. I was so surprised that they had them in the store. We are loving the touch id. It's so nice and easy. Had to share.
Just switched from space grey to Gold. Clearcoat on the back, crystal screen protector, and it never needs a case except for heavy travel.The gold side bands and buttons are great. Tired of black phones.
Space Grey just looks so elegant, I can't get over how nice it looks naked and uncased. I also watch a lot of video on my phone, and found the silver / white to be somewhat distracting. I do like the lack of fingerprints on the white though.
