Lets just set some facts -
1) Gateway to date has the best features for anyone who can use it.
2) Sky 3DS has changed the scene in 4 weeks.
3) Sky 3DS is available and working for all firmwares.
4) Gateway currently doesn't work for anyone over v4.5.
5) Gateway's soon(tm) to be released update supposedly doesn't work for v9.3.
6) Sky 3DS flashcarts can run an unlimited number of games(old cards via the tool).
working on those facts alone (and leaving fanboys out of this) -
If you're looking for Homebrew, Eshop Games, Themes & region free - wait for the Gateway.
If you just want to play games, easily - get the Sky 3DS.
personally - I own both cards, but my 3dsxl has sadly been updated to v9.2. so i used Sky 3DS for the ninjhax hack(amongst other things).
my speculation, take it or leave it, is that the Gateway release might be delayed in order to deal with the v9.3 firmware issues.
