Another Brainy option would be to try the new VMware Server(Free 
Edition). So you could technically always run the same main OS and then 
have testing images that you can load/unload at a whim of whatever OS 
you like. Keep in mind you won't be able to compare performance though
since you'll be running them on shared resources.

Personally I run gnome with 1/2 KDE apps and I think it's one of the 
neatest ways to get everything you want. Well minus some odd glitches 
and KDE windows looking jumbo in gnome.
I've been meaning to switch KDE actually so things scale better but it 
was taking too much time to rearrange the menu and taskbar the way I like.
