The Gift of Death

Supposing you could choose, would you rather have the immortality of the Elves, or the "gift" of Death bestowed on Men?
Personally, I think the Numenoreans got the best deal - long lived, but also get to die and find out what lies outside Middle Earth. Iluvatar did, after all, mean it as a gift.
