If you believe a con is not being able to surf the web while you talk then that is a con. After having the ability with AT&T I don't miss it with Verizon.
I get better service with Verizon in my area so that's a pro. I do believe that VZW's 3G is much slower than AT&Ts now. It used to feel negligible but AT&T is now reporting much, much, much faster 3G data speeds.

I'm on AT&T and for the most part I agree that simultaneous talk/surf is not a huge deal, except if you tether. I tether my iPad and laptop through my phone frequently, and it's nice to be able to take a call without that dropping out.
Plus as you mention the AT&T speeds are "potentially" a lot better, but actually only about 2X faster than Verizon where I live.
Since I have good AT&T coverage around here that is the best choice, but if I didn't and had to use Verizon, for the most part it wouldn't bother me (just the potential for data interruption while tethering if a call comes in, that's somewhat picayune).
I never said potentially, never. YMMV with 3G data speeds, I was non-committal and certainly never said potentially.
AT&T is not good enough for voice where I live ergo, I have VZW. I am happy with them despite slower 3G. I wish it were better but it has yet to truly hinder me.
