Just download both and try them, you will have your answer right away. Monero is impossible to use, at least an hour to sync one day and do a transfer, if it doesnt crash and corrupt the blockchain.
People are simply going to state what coins they own, and that one is the 'best'. So to be honest, expect very few valid replies here.
One of the Cryptonote coins may be the strongest as far as anonymity goes, as ring signatures are pretty solid, but it does have some issues, primarily bloat. Monero gets all the attention, but Boolberry probably is the better coin -- it has a gui wallet and I believe cut down on some of the bloat issues.
Drk, assuming it passes its audit, would also be considered worthwhile ... especially if they do that Dark Tor thing the dev talked about.
Then you have XC (someone else would have to give an objective opinion on that one, as I haven't followed it).
There are other coins that claim anonymity, but haven't paid much attention to them ... Pinkcoin claimed it, Cloak sort of had a version working, until they failed their audit as far as it being trustless, and more or less have to start over from the beginning (assuming they even bother at this point). Not sure what other coins claimed anonymity or not, besides the simple mixer types of coins.
Anyway, you'd want a stable coin that people would spend, not worried about it as far as an investment goes. That will be tricky, as pretty much that seems all people do here is consider these things investments. You may wish to wait until Drk gets past RC5 and goes open source, or a cryptonote flavor truly fixes their bloated blockchain issue. And in Monero's case, gets a wallet that an average person would even bother using.

Use both to determine what's better for said purpose and then focus on the one you are doing best.
Hi,
I'm new to the Alt Coin world. I would like to know: What is the best anonymous alt coin? I see Darkcoin and Monero have a lot of fans and detractors, but are there other noteworthy anonymous coins, and if so, why? Why are DRK and XMR the "top contenders?"
Ultimately what I hope to do is start an online shop and align it with one Alt Coin that I can really get behind and support. Also I would like to organize a community around said Alt Coin.
One of my concerns is the extreme inflation and deflation of the coins right now, and the fact that many people look at the coins as "investments" rather than a tool to do real transactions for goods and services. So, I guess I'm looking for a coin with a community that is more concerned with price stability as well.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
