Balance or Feral for Wotlk?

So, I plan on leveling my druid to 80 first thing when wotlk comes out. My only problem is I can't decide between feral or balance. I'm balance right now, but feral is looking pretty good and with the form glyphs I won't have to be a wingless wyvern anymore. So, what would be better for PvP with PvE on the side?
(I don't want to go resto because I want to be able to solo; this is my only 70 or 80)

I play a balance druid, so I'm kind of biased, but I would level as balance. There is plenty of leather damage gear, so getting that gear won't be as difficult as it was in TBC for levelling.

True, but there's just as much melee leather available due to rogue itemization.
Also, while leveling throughout northrend you're going to want to run instances (both for gear and instance quests) whenever you can - a feral druid has the option of tanking an instance run effectively, while a balance druid is just another DPS'er (of which there is no shortage).

Outside it'll probably be more or less equivalent, considering equal gear.
Feral will have less downtime but will be slightly slower at killing mobs (and i have to say i didn't have that much downtime problems in the beta, running after quests and not flying did help to replenish mana).
Balance probably has a little edge for killing elite quest mobs in the outside world (especially if they can be rooted), while feral will have a big advantage for instances (better at tanking than the moonkin will be at healing).
I'll go balance because that's my call and my best gear.

So you're a tank with no taunt, one that gets constant spell interruption when being hit, no health improvement in moonkin (only armor), low stamina on your gear, and poor threat generation compared to any real tank.
Moonkin are not tanks.
