My buddy with a Droid 2 (non-Global) was LIVID after the last firmware update. His battery life went in the tank and there is no rolling back to older firmware with the Droid. The update was just pushed onto his phone in the middle of the night. At least with BlackBerrys you have to do any updating yourself. Plenty of opportunity to read the reviews from early adopters and decide for yourself. Case in point: I'm still running OS 5.0.0.699 on my Bold. There are newer versions of OS 5 available, and also versions of OS 6. I've read too many reviews where one problem or another, some quite serious, caused folks to switch back to an older OS version. Since I'm having zero issues I've just stayed put.

Battery live on my BlackBerry is EASILY double what I get on my Evo.
