Omniscience is like eating a gigantic bucket of slurpee or something all at once.  You're not going to enjoy it and you're going to get brain freeze.  Immortality is like eating that same gigantic bucket at your infinite (almost literally) leisure.  I'd pick immortality.

However, about the killing off someone close to me...if it's assured with no strings attached, I'd consider it >_<
It didn't exactly have to be a person....do you want to kill a person?

Immortality, to be honest. Not for the "omg i'll never die" factor, but being there to see how much progress (if any :|) humans will make. Being able to live for tens of thousands of years would be greater than immediately knowing it all. Besides, if you knew it all, what would be the point of living? It would be much better to figure stuff out on your own, in my opinion.

That's what I thought too. But then you would NEVER die, EVER. Why would anyone want that? Its like endless hell... You would be lonely since if you ever got into a relationship they would grow old and die, and you wouldn't. Not my ideal life.

It doesn't have to be a person, just something that's close to you.

which will probably make you extremely depressed, maybe suicidal.

That won't be a drastic change.  I'll give up my ex's life, how about that?

Neither, I'd rather be normal.
Also, this is stupid, if you can choose someone close to you to give up, then they're obviously not very close to you if you could give them up for some weird power.

Like I said, it doesn't have to be a person, just something that's important.

Same thing, if you're able to give it up, it's obviously not very important to you.

Rethinking about it, never dying would be really cool. You could essentially do anything. You could ask the nations leaders straight up front anything you ever wanted from them. There would be no consequences to being shot. The only thing that could stop you would be to be behind bars, and eventually you can chip away at them by continually breaking your first trying to get out. But you wouldn't die of anything, so it'd be cool.

What if you get put away for life?  Eventually, you'll break out, but what will you do before you escape?

If immortality also includes perfect health, I'll take it. Otherwise, I'll take omniscience.

I'll be bored a while, but there's no way it'd matter in the grand scheme of things. The human race will die out far earlier than my life would be over (as in never).

Immortality........that would depend if I stay 120% healthy, never age beyond a certain point(or at least be able to shift age :P), and should humans go through some sort of evolution, so will I. In exchange.......... two of my five close friends bite the blade. its a steep price, but worth it.....*evil laugh*
