I've been debating on which one to get
the Air (16 gb) is going for about $459 (Before taxes) in my area
The Kindle fire HDX 8.9 (16 gb) is going for about $379 (before taxes) on amazon
Does anyone have either of these/want to give some sight on which would be better?
I have neither, but I can give you a comparison of their technical specifications.
Mass: Kindle is 90g less
Display: Ipad has 0.8" larger screen
Pixel Density: Kindle has 75 more ppi
Camera: Kindle has 3 more MP, and has LED flash
Processor: Kindle is quad core 2200 MHz, Ipad is dual core 1400 MHz
RAM: Kindle has twice the RAM that the Ipad has
Battery: Kindle has and estimated 2 hours more battery life (in use) than the Ipad.
Conclusion: Kindle is objectively better and less expensive.
Final thoughts: I'd recommend trying each device in person if possible so that you can decide if you're comfortable with the UI. You'll get used to whichever you chose, but one might be faster to get used to then the other.

Thanks to BMWxi, I can totally agree that the Kindle will be your best choice.
But the apps suck on Kindle, Apple app store has at least 10x the amount and quality of those on kindle.

What do you want to use the tablet for primarily?

You can probably root the tablet and run stock android and get android apps on the kindle.
