They're both very capable cameras. The Canon has a bit higher resolution, but the Nikon has better noise and dynamic range that negates this advantage above ISO 3200 or so. Honestly though, the more important questions are:
1. Which fits your hand better? This requires visit to a camera store. I had a T2i for a while (same size as a T3i) and while I liked it, found it just a bit small for my gorilla hands.
2. Does either Canon or Nikon have particular lenses you're interested in that the other system doesn't? At the low cost level both systems are pretty comparable, but as you get sucked in deeper some significant differences arise (Nikon a bit stronger in wide angle zooms, Canon with a broader range of fast primes and specialty lenses). This may not matter to you for quite a while, but it ended up mattering a lot to me - my kit is now made up largely of Canon lenses that have no Nikon equivalent.
Short answer: Both are fine choices. Enjoy.
