Homer and Virgil in English

Which English translations of Homer and Virgil do you prefer, and why?

I've only read them in Robert Fitzgerald's translations, but there's a newer translation of Homer by Robert Fagles, published by Penguin Classics. Opinions, anyone? I've read the blurbs, but I'd like to hear from ordinary folks who have read both (before I spend my money :-).

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
