    I’m personally a treadmill fan because I know that when I’m really exhausted or sick or discouraged or whatever I can choose to go a little slower. Ellipticals usually require a certain speed

    if your knees, hips and ankles can handle it, treadmill.

    I feel like I could stay on an elliptical until I'm completely overcome by boredom rather than fatigue.

    also....

    I've never seen a professional athlete on an elliptical.

    (not to say they don't use one, I've just never seen it).

    I have both of these in my home gym. Weather, especially winter will have me using my treadmill mostly, but I use the elliptical for cross training. Which one do like the most? Neither, I need to be outside.
