Well my own personal bias is with Lombardo. Here is a thread I started a while back with a linked article comparing the two translations of the Aeneid. I have pasted into the body of the post the part of the article that was so interesting to me comparing a passage line by line. Based on this article, I favor Lombardo's Aeneid as I do his Iliad. Interestingly enough, even though I've read that Lomabrdo's Iliad is in a more modern vernacular, according to this article his Aeneid more faithful to the original Latin. Fagles' is purportedly more lush, on the other hand. Let me know if you can't access the linked article and I'll help you get it if you're interested.
