My personal recommendation is to avoid Air India at all costs. That aside, Etihad is a new airline, so the planes will be new. Supposed to be pretty nice, too.
Edited to add: Sorry, just saw the J part, but I'd still avoid Air India. The few times I've been on it (which were, in fairness, a long time ago), I didn't care for the service. A friend just flew AI in J a few months back and said it wasn't that nice, either.

Not much of a decision IMHO. Stay off the flying carpet! (Wasn't that Air India's advertising slogan back in the 19070s?)

I would also recommend staying away from them. Of course, for some reason *A thinks that they are just fine, and will be joining sooner or later.
