I forgot you can make polls here :P
The only thing I am worried about with the white one is that when it gets dirty it will show easily.

Reasons to choose black :

1) it's stylish and has a mature feel to it

2) the stains won't show as much

3) the shoulder pads won't become yellow

4) some people mention the contrast between the bright colors of the games and the black contour as a positive aspect

 

Reasons to choose white :

1) it's stylish, in a different way (the examples given above were good in terms of matching other electronics)

2) it's the original DS lite color that fits almost every DS lite gadget

3) your fingerprints don't show as much as on the black version

4) some people will find the contract less straining for the eyes

 

Please feel free to add other reasons why someone would pick a black or a white DS lite.

There's a linked topic at the top of the forum that covers the colors

The black or pink seem to be the ones to get because they both hide scratches and don't discolor

White all the way man! In my opinion, it just looks better. It doesn't show scratches or fingerprints as badly as the black. I haven't had any problems with stains or the shoulder buttons turning yellow. Also, it matches my iPod and my Wii! ;)

personally, I'm an experienced gamer, and have had both colors of the Lite. if you want a system that looks cute and smudges and dirt that don't show, get the white. but...if you want a system that ultimately looks cooler, and you won't see it when you're playing in the dark, get the black. it's all up to you, but with either system you have to be really careful with it to keep it from getting too dirty.
