Alcibiates nailed the important points between cable and DSL. One thing you should look into is how far you are from the central phone office / exchange. DSL is distance sensitive and the further away from the exchange you are the slower the speed. You can also check cable speed stats at places like DSLReports.com

We recently were in the market for getting Internet/Phone service. I don't know how it works in your community, but AT&T had several incentives for people who signed up with their service online. You might want to look into it, anyway. This is the second time I've went with AT&T and I've been pleased.

I would avoid Comcast.

I'm running FIOS with verizon. I ended up waiting over a month to get it as they were finishing connecting up my development. Instal took 4+ hrs as maintenance screwed down the crawl space access and tiled over it (they fixed this with a hearty application of hammers and crowbars). No problems or outages since I signed up.
