Is there any advantage of one over the other? And why? Also how much does sensor size affect the image quality?

Okay so if you were looking at two cameras and one had a 23.5x15.8 CCD sensor compared to a 22.3x14.9 CMOS sensor, which should give you better results all else being equal?
I figured that would be the answer I would get, lol. The problem I have is that both the Canon and Nikon bodys feel fine when holding them so it comes down to quality of the body and photos. The three I am looking at are the new D3000, 450D (XSi) and the 500D (T1i). With the T1i now on sale they are all within $200 of each other. See my problem now?Okay so if you were looking at two cameras and one had a 23.5x15.8 CCD sensor compared to a 22.3x14.9 CMOS sensor, which should give you better results all else being equal?
Well, everything else is never equal.
If the impossible happened and some wizard waved his magic wand and two sets of 100 cameras and lenses, one set in each format, appeared where everything was equal (or proportional to the subtle format difference) the theoretical difference between the two would be so small that no one could prove the difference. The sample to sample manufacturing in each set of 100 would be larger than the different between the two sets.
