Do you get WiFi on a CR9 or E75 the way you can on an A319? (I've not been on an AA A319 yet, but my late December DFW-HSV trip shows WiFi scheduled to be available on it on aa.com.)
Yes to wifi and overheads on USX E70/75. No to both on CR9.

I'd personally take the E-jets over an A319 simply because of the single F seating on the left side of the plane, and if I'm traveling for work and don't get upgraded, I find the E-jets in coach to be one of the most comfortable rides around.
However I wouldn't choose a CR9 over an A319, given it would mean gate checking my bag, and coach in a CRJ is the pits of hell.
I don't mind gate checking as long as it's not sent to baggage claim. Then again, I also don't mind checking bags.
I will say that I was thinking of the wrong plane, though. The US A319 has a pretty nice seat at 10A/F with no seat in front of you. I'd take that over the CR9. I'd still take the E75 over both, though.
