Hi, I won't take sides here, as I don't believe that it is a "sides" issue. Levels of comfort and ease of adaptability to the changes in look and feel of Lion vary with individuals and they should do whatever they feel so that their experience remains positive.
You may find, though, that you will be unable to install SL on a Lion machine, as Apple often makes it more or less impossible to install a "lower" OS on a system once the latest OS has been released. I've got around it a few times with Net Restore images deployed from an OS X Server, but most people don't have access to this technology. Later...
