Hulu Plus or Netflix?

I'm taking the leap and getting rid of cable.
What are the best alternatives? I've heard Netflix and Hulu Plus do good things.
Do I need both of them?

I have them both. It's a tough choice.

I am cable-less and have Netflix. I've had it for about three years and I still have tons of stuff to watch.
I've never had Hulu Plus though. I figure once (if it ever happens) I run out of stuff on Netflix, I'll add Hulu plus.
You buying an OTA antenna? You should be able to pick up all your local channels through that.

What's your aim?
If you looking to keep up with current TV shows episode by episode, Hulu+.
If you are looking for a wider library with more movies, past tv shows, etc., pick Netflix.
If you want both, get both.
If you want both on a budget, get Netflix streaming only and Hulu+

If you're cutting cable you should probably get both. You'll still be saving a ton of money, so if $16 vs. $8 a month makes a difference to you then you should probably watch less TV and get a 2nd job.
The one curve ball to throw into the equation is Amazon Prime. On it's own you'd never choose Amazon Prime over NetFlix because Amazon's interface is pretty bad. However, if you already have Amazon Prime ($80 per year) for the free shipping, the amount of overlap in the movies and TV shows they offer might make you choose Amazon over NetFlix if you're pinching pennies. NetFlix's catalog is bigger, but I'd say 85% of what I've watched on NetFlix lately has been on Amazon Prime too.

FYI - Netflix is introducing a lot of original content now too. House of Cards has been very good, Arrested Development comes out in less than two months, and they just announced new Sci-Fi show in 2014 from the Wachowskis who did Cloud Atlas and Matrix.
