I'm on the verge of selling a ton of comics, and was planning on getting Voyager seasons 4 - 7 (Which I don't remember all that well, except for the eps on the recently released 'Collectives' that I got), but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if I might like Buffy 6 & 7 (Which I haven't seen at all yet) more (Plus, it would be cheaper, I could sell the Buffy I already own and order the Chosen Collection).
Any opinions on which would be more desireable to posess?

I would recommend getting Season Six and Seven of Buffy. Although some people have complained about a drop in quality over the last two seasons of the show, that opinion is by no means universal and you can't really know where you'd stand on the debate until you watch 'em, now can you? 
And no matter one's stance on the last few seasons, it has to be said that they contain some of the best "Buffy" episodes of the series. "Once More With Feeling" is really a must-see for any "Buffy" fan and is one of Joss' finest achievements. Another pair of episodes that come immediately to mind are "Conversations With Dead People" (which won a Hugo award, and also features Jonathon Woodward--Tracy--in another fantastic role) and "Chosen" (the series finale, which I feel is really the best way to end the series). There are plenty of other good episodes as well, just can't name them off the top of my head (wait, here's some more: "Tabula Rasa," "Lessons," "Selfless," "Lies My Parents Told Me").
So, I really recommend getting the next two seasons. It would be worth it even just for "Once More With Feeling" and "Chosen" alone. I don't think you'll be disappointed if go through with it.

So, forget Voyager? Are you saying that Treknobabble isn't as good as Caleb and Faith duking it out?
Are you saying the level of writing is better on the last two seasons of Buffy than the last four of Voyager??!!
...I could see that bein' the case...
Does Xander really get fat Chrisisall

As a huge fan of everything Joss Whedon (***especially*** Buffy), I would have to say with a resounding no to seasons 6 & 7. They were less than stellar, boring, and totally forgettable. Go for Angel seasons 1-3 (plus 4 & 5, but the first 3 were the best) if you don't already own them.
The only bright spots in Buffy seasons 6 & 7 are Spike and Caleb (played by Nathan Fillion). But if you were going to buy the Chosen Collection, I would say go for it, as it is the same price as 4 separate seasons, and you instead get all 7 (plus a bonus disc).

Side note: I read a review of The Chosen collection that said it would only be purchased by people who buy mega-sets to put on their shelves to impress others, and probably would not actually ever be viewed in it's entirety.
They don't know fans, do they?

IMO, season 6 is about 50/50. So, if you don't might 50% suck...
IMO, seaons 7 has only 1 good episode. So...
I would recommend, season 6 with season 7 optional.
That being said, if you're like me and what to have the whole series, getting these two seasons is not optional.

Lol, I meant this to be a Buffy vs. Voyager thing, but it's turning into a Do 6 and 7 Suck thread...
Well, even if they do suck, relativly speaking, are they still better than Voyager?

Get all your Buffy.

I'm about to buy the whole set, but do have all Buffy on tape, quality of which is not uniform.
[Oh, and Happy Birthday, my dearest darling Sarah. Hurry up and leave Freddy. Do it soon! I miss you!]
