If the extra toolbar bothers you I suggest Firefox. You can with bit of toggling configure it to have only one added button, ie next to Stop button, clicking that will bring out the SU toolbar or hide it again. I stumble pretty much each day for 10 minutes, or well, sometimes bit longer ;O) SU literally rocks. If the extra toolbar bothers you I suggest Firefox.

I just have to underscore one major difference between the two and I will use your own words to say it: <b>Digg is full of jackasses. It’s true…the haterade is strong on that site. StumbleUpon users are less likely to flame you but also less likely to leave feedback in general.</b> Amen. I couldn't say it better. So pick your poison or take both - but know that most people who have been properly exposed to both: regularly enjoy StumbleUpon and just use digg.

BTW, you dont have to have the toolbar even. Activate hotkeys and hide it. I, myself run a clean interface with only a firefox tabsbar at the bottom and only a thin menubar at the top where the adressfield an google searched field i crammed in. Stumbled to this page.

I recently experienced my first digg as well and had a huge spike for a few days and then it tapered off. But when you get a post on SU, it can bring you a nice level of traffic for weeks.
