I've been in the game for 5 years (yes, I have no life) and have toons on both sides, several servers. My preference is Horde, simply because Horde players just seem to be nicer people than Alli players. This is not to say that all Horde players are angels or all Alli are buttheads; I've met plenty of both who proved the 'exception to the rule' theory. But overall, Horde players seem to be more friendly and helpful, particularly to the newbs, than Alliance players.

As an Officer in my Horde guild I spend a lot of time helping new players get acclimated, and I see kindness and helpfulness every day from the more experienced players to the new ones. While I see this on the Alli side too, there seems to be noticeably more "F*ck you, punk, learn to play the game" attitude among Alli. I'm at a loss as to why this should be the case ... just my own observations.
