I just bought an Asus EeePC 1000HE about two weeks ago and so far I love it. It has the Mac/Vaio-style chiclet keyboard.
Here's the skinny: the Samsung, EeePC, and Aspire all have the same specs--same processor, same RAM, same HD space, same onboard graphics and sound. The Samsung and the EeePC are upgradeable to 2GB of RAM whereas the Aspire is only upgradeable to 1.5 GB of RAM. The EeePC has the best rated battery life but all are quite good.
So aside from those two issues, it's ENTIRELY a matter of a) your comfort with the keyboard and b) which one is aesthetically more appealing.
I suggest playing with the different models at a store and seeing which you're most comfortable with. Personally I found the tiny mousepad area on the Samsung obnoxious, and I really wanted a matte screen instead of a glossy one. But those were my prefs.
