Bagels by 20 car lengths. Here's why:
Bagels tend to be easier to cut open. Even when english muffins are "pre-cut" you still have to use a fork to open them up to preserve all of the "nooks and crannies"... if you use a knife it just slices right through them and you basically just have a thick piece of circle shaped bread.
I believe bagels are more versatile. Bagels can be eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner with jelly, butter, salmon, ham and cheese, hummus, basically anything else that is good goes well with bagels. If you are eating an english muffin for another meal other than breakfast, it's essentially a bastard child. You are forcing it to be something it is not.
Bagels come in a wide variety of types, which just adds to their versatility. I'm sure there are other types of english muffins (whole wheat, etc.) but you're not going to find an "everything" english muffin.
Also, nobody likes the English. When you go to NY, you see bagel shops not english muffin shops. Go 'Merica!
Now, bagels do have that inconvenient hole in the middle which can get problematic when you're using them for sandwiches, but the simple solution is to cut it in half so stuff doesn't squeeze out of the hole when you eat it.
Plus I just got done eating a bagel sandwich with egg, cheese, honey ham and ketchup.
