Well, I owned a Ford Edge and it was a GREAT car. It is a step above the Escape of course but the Escape isn't bad either. I got 28 MPg on highway with the edge and it is pretty quick too. I bought the first orange with vista roof in our area when they first came out.
Edge if you can afford it.
But Escape is really nice always!! soo yea

It depends on your personal taste for styling, because both are very different. I like the looks of the Edge... from somebody else's driveway. I'm not sure that I would want to personally own it because of its looks. The Edge Sport, which I saw for the first time in person cruising through town with a dealer plate on, is probably the trim I'd get. The wheels are huge and shiny, so it just looks cool. There might also be some interior upgrades. It can pull a light trailer though and it still gets 24 mpg with available all wheel drive.
The Escape is a vehicle that can be closer tailored to one's needs. You can get a 4 cylinder or 6, front wheel or four wheel drive (and the Mercury Mariner has available all wheel), and you can mix and match those. If you got a front wheel, 4 cylinder Escape (not sure if this is with automatic or manual transmission) it is rated for 28 mpg which is easily stretchable to 30+ if you are an efficient driver. The Escape can also pull a small trailer.
Don't just use either of these opinions to make your decision though. Test drive an Edge, and test drive a 4 cylinder Escape and a 6 cylinder Escape to see if you think you need/want the extra power of the 6. Also, make sure that the car that you get has Microsoft's SYNC, which is a really neat system for your phone and iPod.
Good choice of vehicles though, and thanks for choosing American vehicles instead of the mainstream Japanese cars.
