I've got both. I notice that Slacker runs in the background even when it's off using 0 resources.
Ultimately which is better?

Since you can't uninstall Slacker....you"ll have both if you download Pandora, which is better...
I like Pandora better. It seams to do a better job of taking my likes and dislikes to build a great custom station. I've only used Slacker on my phone, but Pandora does a great job working across many different devices with the same experience
Droid does some cool and amazing things. Yet it does not do some basic stuff that has been stock on most phones for years. It makes me think the Google developers were marooned in some kind of a 1977 LOST flashback/flashforward/sideways combo reality gameshow
I'm w/ Pandora ever since i owned Smartphone(since my Blackberry time).![]()

Never used slacker but pandora is trash. There was a time it was excellent though.

Last time I used Slacker the music quality was terrible, sounded like crap. Not too happy with Pandora either, but at least it was better than Slacker. I do like Slacker's music better though. I'm always on Slacker from my work computer.
I use both.... Slacker has more structure to each type of music and offers 171 channels including news and sports. Pandora is kind of cool due to the more free form style of music. I play them through my phone with a Blackberry Gateway for the car, through the phone or my laptop through a Creative Labs 3.1 system on the back porch. I also run Pandora through my Roku box through my home theater stereo system... they all sound the same to me. With Slacker you can skip as many songs as you want, with Pandora you're limited to 6 skips an hour, but you can always jump to another channel. Now that Pandora offers comedy channels I might be dropping Slacker.
Are you hurting for space on your phone? Why not keep both on? I keep Slacker, Pandora, iheartradio, and tunein radio all on my phone. Different situations will have me using each so I just keep them all.
