Both Squeezebox/Transporter and Sonus systems have their fans on this site and for good reasons in that they are both excellent systems.

Superficially speaking, the Sonus system has a more elaborate interface with a larger display (at higher cost) and is user friendly while the Slimdevices system is arguably more flexible and cheaper but requires a more geeky mentality to get it all going.

I've only practical experience of the SB3 which I think is superb. Just upgraded to the beta Squeeze Center 7 release which offers a lot of features. My SB3 also acts as a wireless bridge for my EP35 HD DVD player. I suggest you do a lot of reading. You could also download the Slimdevices software on your computer system (together with SoftSqueeze) to get a feel for this system.
