I've leveled both an Alliance and a Horde to 60. Here's what I noticed.
Leveling Alliance, I got ganked once or twice in Tanaris, i've had a few ninja's jack loot and peace out, and i've found some pretty cool people. AH prices also kind of suck. PvP is pretty good. There was a bigger community revolved around it at the time, so it was more enjoyable than on the horde.
Leveling Horde, I got ganked as soon as I left The Barrens. High level alliance usually sitting by low level towns camping anything that enters or leaves. Ungoro crater was a nightmare with Goochie, who killed anything on sight with or without illegitimate means. Ran into one ninja in WC, who ninja'd a tank belt, called everyone faggots, and hearthed out, other than that, the PvE scene has been chill.
The horde don't camp nearly as much as the Alliance. There are a lot of chill Alliance players, but there are also a bunch of children, and from my experience, more children than the horde. The quality of PvE is nicer on Horde, but the Quality of PvP is better on the Alliance. This also explains AH prices. More horde players farming for raid consumes, make a more bustling economy, while alliance players more focussed on battle grounds, and their free 100% mount at higher ranks don't have as much of an incentive to farm a whole lot
