I mentioned this on the Balmung is Open thread, but I'll reiterate it here in case someone else comes looking at it for advice.
While I'm biased to Balmung, there's really no straight answer to give.
I would like to believe that both servers are great for RP. Balmung is apparently "more popular" and has larger numbers, while Gilgamesh has a smaller, more tight-knit group from my understanding. Both had their strengths and their weaknesses, so I can only recommend this: check them both out.
In your case, you have a character on Gilgamesh and you're found some friendly folk there. I wouldn't give that up right away just because there's so much talk about Balmung being "better." Instead, keep working on and leveling your Gilgamesh guy while you sneak an alt onto Balmung.
With the alt, you can look around at how the RP is there and see how you feel about it. If you're happy with Gilgamesh, then you can keep your guy there and will have saved yourself the money that would've been spent on the transfer. If you like Balmung better, you will have made friends who will be ready to greet you when you transfer you main guy over.
If you like both? Well, what do you know? You have a guy on both!
... That's my feeling, anyway.
