Option B due to it having 2x the memory and 2x video memory. Also, option B includes a DVD writer. I've personally never used a Xenon but the E6600 is good.
 
I have used Dells for many years now. Every place I have worked has Dells. I will say this loud and clear, dont get a Dell!!!

Why you ask? Every Dell I have ever worked with has had problems. My work computer has had the motherboard replaced 3 times and has had a number of different issues.

If you do get a Dell, then buy the service plan for at least 2 years. The service is great and they have had a repairman out within 24 hours.

I would say to get yourself an HP. Always buy the service plan in any event.
 
I prefer the Precision line. You get 3 year American based tech support and they treat you really really well. If you ever need a replacement part, just call and they'll overnight it to you. Plus, the build quality of the workstation like is much more robust than the average Joe's Dell.

P.S. I think you are paying full retail for those Dell's listed. They shouldn't cost anywhere as much if you looks for deals and use coupons, etc.
