As far as sound quality goes, you will probably like vinyl better. Before you commit yourself and buy gear, I highly recommend you listen to some records first. There will be some noise (tics, pops etc). Even with good equipment, you will hear some of that. Also, depending on the type of music you listen to, the noise you hear can vary. If you listen to something like rock, you will hear a lot less noise than you would with music that is not "loud" all the time, like classical.
If you decide to try records, here is some equipment I would consider. VPI scout, Dynavector 20x2 low output, Dynavector P-75 phono preamp, Dynavector SDS speed control, VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine.
