I have no experience with Balmung, but there's a much stronger presence of players from that server on the RPC, considering its history as an RP server goes back to 1.0-- and you'll find that because of this comments seem to lean towards there as the more established / better server where it's easier to find players that you can just walk up to. (Not that I'll dispute any of them. I have some of my own friends bugging me to join that server!)
Gilgamesh is more of a melting pot of communities that happen to include the RP sector.The conception with us Gilgameshians is that players prefer to join companies or linkshells and play with them rather than out in the open-- but with that said, walkup isn't exactly a bad thing.
Just be sure to ask first! (But that goes with any server! I've done more than my fare share of "ambushing" at a bad time.)
And, no matter where you go, I hope you end up enjoying your time in Eorzea!
