You may want to reconsider playing on a PvP server.  I doubt anyone here is a hardcore power-leveler that's going to be at level 60 by next week.  Some points to keep in mind:

At any time, someone from the opposite fraction can attack you.  This isn't much of a concern until you're doing level 20+ quests, which require you to travel in neutral areas where both the Alliance and Horde can be.  Then enjoy getting raped constantly by bored power levelers.  For some, this could ruin their gaming experience.  If you're planning on playing "casually" on a PvP server, that's suicide.

Me and some others are going to be playing on a PvE server, because we know we won't level as fast as most everyone else since we simply don't have the time to devote.  The PvE servers have PvP content, so we're not missing out on much.  On PvE you can only engage in PvP if both sides agree to it.  PvE servers are getting Battleground areas in the future anyway, which will be automatically set both fractions to PvP when they enter that area.  And it's still very possible to raid a city of the opposite fraction on the PvE server as well.

Choose which realm you're going to play on wisely, especially if you never tried the game before...

I played Closed Beta since June, I've been on both servers.

About PvP, you can't be attacked at ANY time unless you're in Contested Territory or the territory of the other faction.

I dont mind paying the SH as long as its not over $15 - $20 as more is ridiculoues.

I don't think you're quite catching on...

Right.  And contested territory (neutral area as I put it) is where you spend most of your time once you're finished quests in your fraction's areas.

I was running through the steppes on a PvE server and saw this funny (hostile) tauren with a strange name, so I killed it.  Turns out it was some horde NPC.

Whoops -- don't kill opposing faction NPCs; it automatically makes you go hostile and you're fair game.  About two minutes later a group of three tauren showed up and destroyed me.  Then they proceded to camp my body for about fifteen minutes until they realized that I wasn't going to be hostile when I resurrected.
