Given that Google and it's primary decision makers have made and are worth more than you and the next 10 generations of your family combined, I suppose I will side with Android over WebOS since the former is a superior platform for making money And the Apps store and availability of quality applications is way head of the Pre and will remain so because the market for android is world wide not just US based.

As for the hardware, HTC and Samsung both make better hardware that will last the term of the contract where as the Pre hardware will not. But again, I suppose those companies, that are again worth more than you and the next 10 generations of your family combined, know how to make money by selling products that consumers want.
