Actually I've played both.  I was never really impressed with the Gurps 
Rules System.  They are great books for background info and neat ideas but I 
never could get over 4 stats.

Alternity had a great rule system.  Some of its rules did cary over into 
D20.  Overall its main problem was that it had to many specific rules for 
what was suppose to be a Genreic System.  Also it was designed for an epic 
Space Opera setting so the rules usffer from the same unrealisticness as the 
D20 system.
