both are decent steel framesets, I think both are made in america, but something in the back of my head says the Surly is outsourced (taiwan). I don't like the colors of either, though, by that is only my opinion.
If money is an issue, you might want to go the conversion route, as you can get an old steel road bike for 150 or so and convert it for another 50, much cheaper than the above options.
last option is try scouring the LBS's for an old track bike. I bought mine for 250 and had clincher rims built there, but considering how popular the fixed craze is right now, that option is most likely gone.
