So many games, so little time! Which one?!

Ok, I'm in desperate need of wanting to commit to one, but I don't know which one.  They all have their pros and cons.  I curently own a few MMORPGs that I've tested, but want to hear others' opinions on which I should stick with.  The choices are:

Matrix Online

Star Wars Galaxies

Eve Online

City of Heroes

Final Fantasy XI

If you could choose one, which would it be and why?  Which is good overall for the casual gamer, who likes to group too, but also likes to play solo?  If I commit to one, I'd probably be 100 times more involved.  Thanks everybody!

    I just started the EVE trial and so far it's great. If you used to play it, it reminds me of Earth & Beyond except, A) It's better. B) It's not SOE ::::28::

    Anyways, just sign up for some trials and see what you like.

    Earth and Beyond isn't SOE either. :P

    I'm playing Eve right now (which is nice how I can switch to the browser and back freely), but don't really know if  I like it.  I mean, I seem to go back and forth, making money, slowly building up my ship, but it's just not as satisfying. 

    CoH has been pretty cool, however I can already tell I'm gonna get bored of it.  The only incentive is that my girlfriend plays, so I'll always have someone to play with.  Also, I've found that this community has been the easiest to jump into.  Easy to group and go off and fight. 

    I'm also playing MxO, which I really seem to like so far.  I'm a big fan of the Matrix and love the atmospheric green shadedness to it all.  However, I've not spoken to a single person online yet!  Everyone seems to stick to themselves.  It's like the reverse of CoH, although they're both in cities.  I was told that I need to join a guild type group in order to get the better community experience, so that could be the reason why it's like that.  I'm also not interested in hanging out in a virtual club to meet people too.

    FFXI, I've not even played.  I got a copy of it off of someone else, and never started it, because I had no free trial.  never started...unless, one might think I should..?  I'm interested in the large scale world feel.

    SWG I played DAYS ago, like before JTL, so I never experienced space flight, which was something I really, really wanted to indulge in.  I kinda got frustrated when I was trying to be a jedi by mastering my "holocrons" said profession, only to be told that that was no longer an option to ascending the jedi path.  Now, that it's all grown up, I'm wondering maybe it's better? 

    So, that's how I feel about the games I'm currently playing.  I guess, what I really want to find in an MMO is what I felt in my first moments of gaming on Asheron's Call and Everquest.  The feeling that I'm in a HUGE world that I can explore and meet some random people to explore this world with.  So, in essence, with the reflection of the former comments on my previous experiences, which of these would be more suitable with the additional knowledge of my desire to explore a vast world? 

    Ok, there's my thesis of a response.

    Of your choices my vote goes to City of Heroes.  I've never played SWG and EVE Online is boring as hell, IMO.
