Iron + Wine v.s The Postal Service
Jude:
When I heard the Iron and Wine version it occured to me that it sounded like the original version rather than the cover, and I've had that comment from someone else as well. As to which is better... it's a tough call. I enjoy the Iron and Wine version more at the moment because the original brings all kinds of things to mind which I would rather were not brought to mind. I can't decide.

Aww how cute, Emo love!
I definitely have to go with The Postal Service on this one. Sam Beam does a nice take on the song, but to me its a cutesy love song. Its a GOOD cutesy love song. I think that Jimmy's music and Ben's voice make it a complete cutesy love song. I especially dig the electro-beeps and bips, especially at the beginning. I love listening to it on my iPod as I get the beeps and bips in each ear. It gives quite the auditory pleasure. Plus when I hear teh Iron & Wine version I see floating M&Ms.

Comedy Option, is a humorous version of a "No Opinion" or "They are the Same" vote. Note an actual ballad for a whole new candidate.
However, I understand Sam's beard is quite mighty, and makes him look like zeus.

Oh wow, I never noticed that O_O; Oh wow. That is... really insane. anyway.
I'm going to go with the Postal Service. I like Iron & Wine... I do. However, I just feel like the Postal Service puts an edge on the song that suits it slightly better.
But, I almost voted for the beard. Almost. It is quite mighty.

My friend likes the iron and wine version better but I gotta agree with inlander.

Woman King beats both of them, and that's just an EP. :P
I'll have to go with Postal Service. I&W's case would be helped if he didn't use that picking rythm or that tempo in more than half of his songs. I like Mr. Beam's work, but come on. :P
