W995 for sure. I tried an N96 in a store and count get past the confusing UI. All features on a phone depend on how well you can use the UI. Definately try before you buy.

Simple
W995 if you want ease of use with a non-touch GUI that never fails to impress.
N96 - if you are into 3rd party apps.

If you want 3rd party apps there's only one phone to choose and it's not a N96.
The N96 only has an advantage in video recording and Mobile TV. Not many people consider these to be must-have features.

BETWEEN W995 AND N96! The N96 has LOADS of useful 3rd party apps over W995. It doesnt just have an advantage in Video recording and mobile tv, its got a proper gaming community with online play as well, lots great high quality games, it has far better video playback capabilities, a better web browser, and other smartphone advantages. I dont get whats so confusing about S60 UI, when i moved from my W900 to N80 i had no problems with the UI, all was straight forward. If you find it hard to find things just go to the Stand-by screen, click the "Search:Internet and My Content" bar, type in the 1st 2-3 letters of what you want and voila its there, you actualy never have to go into the Menu. This is great for when you have over 8GB worth of stuff in your phone and loads of applications, documents, bookmarks, etc. . . . .

Thanx all for your answers! 
I will go to a store and meet these babies in person. I will add the N86 to the crib.
Keep your opinions coming, they'll still be useful to make my choice in the end.

n96 from my personal experience is ok. Its good if you use it only as for music, and take a bunch of pics. The web browsing is good(but n95's was way better). Games such as snake will lag on it, so dont even bother playing. I wanted to play brothers in arms on it, and it lagged like crap.. But if you are into applications then its good. Because it can handle apps quite well. Overall the phone will lag frequently and you will get used to it. Oh And the phone itself cannot handle 16gb of music.
If i had to choose b/w n96 and w995, then the only things which would make me buy n96 would be the web browsing(flashlite support) and applications(such as coreplayer,etc.). So choose them on your needs.
Havent used w995, so cannot tell about it.

Have you used a N96 on the V20 fw? Not bad at all, but like djin has pointed out it will lag under intense stuff.

What firmware is your N96 running? Funny you should mention BIA (Bros. in Arms) was just playing it 10mins ago on my N81 and it ran smoothly, then again its CPU is about 105mhz faster than the N96's, i only played Creatures of the Deep on my mate's N96 it wasnt as responsive as it is on my phone but i just thought that was due to it running MXit and Music Player in the background. Not good.

I would highly recommend waiting for N86, considering it has even more powerful hardware than 5800,N81,N85 etc. . .it should be an excellent phone.

Gucci.011,
I had the firmware before v20. My phone is dead now since i dropped it in water  ...I really wanted to play bia but it would lag so much on mine that i just couldnt play it. It used to work perfectly fine in my friend's n95 and even on n85

go 4 the n96, but if you have enough money you can go 4 a Samsung Innov8
don't buy from SE any longer,
I personally threw away a lot of money buying a crappy k850.IT has a lot of mtfckng bugs.The camera is crap, i've put a lot of camera drivers but camera is still crap, it' the worst 5mpx camera phone.
i had k750-k800-k850.I compared the pics taken by k800 with k850-not a single difference.There is no cybershot, but cybercrap.
