I've tried both and have stuck with Rdio. The social aspect is superior. I love being able to see playlists and recommendations from random people beyond my Facebook friends. Spotify's desktop app is definitely faster, though I find Rdio to be better designed.

But there is a BIG difference here if we're talking about the free services of both. Spotify is always free, and rdio is only free for 6 months. Yes it's probably a good thing to pay for a service that you like (I do), but some people don't, and that's going to be where they prefer Spotify.

I'd rather be cut off honestly than hectored into subscribing by having my music continuously interrupted with advertising.

It's also good to pay for a service that you want to stick around.

Completely agree. The UX of Rdio is far superior, IMHO.
