Sith Empire or Galactic Republic?

Finally, I got my copy of SWTOR. Collector's edition that is. Pricy, but I believe the money spent will make me focus greatly into enjoying the game ever more! At the moment I prepare to set my self in bed, while I am having the SWTOR launcher patching the new updates. But how I am going to sleep huh?! Nevertheless I still got a big decision to take before I enter the galaxy. Sith Empire or Galactic Republic?

Back in "glorious" days of World of Warcraft, being Horde or Alliance did matter. Which side had the most people? Which side had the best people? Usually in a big population faction, there is more life than usual, the choices are by far more. So lets say you had a better % of choosing the best and head on. Also big population equals in more demand, but on the other hand, more competition.. on every aspect in the game. But how does that turn out? I believe there is a decent percent on how things can turn out by choosing certain faction and even more certain class. Although the golden rule is still the same. Chose what you want to chose. Have fun, play the game the way you like it. And when you are out of credits come here to get you tips! :)

So, does faction choice effect you in game? What do u believe?
