Welcome to the boards, Nicole! 
I would say the best choice to go with is what would suit you best. If you're looking for a warmer color in diamonds, go with moissanite. If you want a more colorless or steely look, go with an Asha.
Moissies look very steely and diamond like in sunlight BUT in overcast weather show a slight yellow tint, which is fine if you like that warm color (I know I do!). I prefer both and mix diamonds, Ashas and moissies. A few people loved my princess curved moissie band ring. They were so surprised when I told them it wasn't diamonds.
Okay, I'm absolutely no help because I love all things sparklie.  But again, it's mostly a matter of taste.

Thank you to everyone for your quick responses!!! I think I am going to order both and see which one I like the best. I worry with Asha because it sounds like I'd have to be careful with it more than Mois. Not that isn't do-able (if that's a word) just would have to watch what I do with it on.
I have been speaking with Chris from Moiss.... but how do I get in touch with Mike C if he sells both. If I like the Asha better, I'd like for them to set it in my ring, not an unexperienced jewler. Miss Diamonds, you don't happen to have a picture of your asha and moiss side by side do you?? If so, would you post it!??!!??
Thanks again everyone!!!

Hi Nicole and welcome!
Chris and Mike both work for Moissco and can get you both asha and moiss to look at. If you are already talking with Chris then just ask him to also send you an asha to look at.
There was a great thread that did a comparison of asha and moissy.... Let me see if I can find it.
******** Found it!
