I like marble, as their wonders tend to produce more culture for my victory, as well as the fact I have a better selection.
Marble or Stone?

Marble:
Mausalleum
Great Library
Oracle
Temple of Artemis
Parthanon
Hagia Sophia
Versailles
Sistine Chapel
Taj Mahal
Stone
Pyramids
Great Lighthouse
Great Wall
Angkor Wat
Chichen Itza
Notre Dame
Stonehenge
Hanging Gardens
The Kremlin
Spiral Mineret
University of Sankore
So Stone has 11 and Marble has only 9.

Hanging gardens are marble. So is the Great Lighthouse, as far as I know.
Incorrect on both accounts.

(Although the Great Lighthouse's bonus resource isn't listed there for some reason, I'm 99% sure it's stone.)
Really? I could have sworn it was stone...I stand corrected then.

Odd, in reality it was completly marble, I guess it balances the 2 resources. I like having whichever resource depending on my civ. I like to roleplay a bit, so I like marble for greece, but stone for egypt, etc.

Marble =
Oracle (if you are foolish enough to persue an oracle strat that is not a CS sling)
Mausoleum (a second golden age is generally too late in MP)
Great Library (also weak in MP)
Stone =
Moai
Hanging
Notre
Stone wins.

Oracle is extremely good outside of that. Slinging Theocracy, CoL, Feudalism, Metal Casting, and possibly even Machinery are all good gambits with the Oracle.
My answer is this: it depends.

CoL is the only decent option you present. Anything that slows down your arrival at CS is a detriment. In SP, trading might make other techs worthwhile.
In MP, there is no contest. Stone wins (without pyramids).

Marble affects more National Wonders IIRC, so I'll go with that since I won't normally build a lot of wonders.

I'd rather have stone hooked up at the beginning of the game, but by the time I get Masonry and I get a worker to Road and Quarry the tile, it's too late for me to get too much use out of it.
So, from that point, I'd rather have marble in my borders.
If I get to choose which free resource I get to have in my cities from a magic source (like Rock and Roll) starting in 4000 BC, then I'd say Stone all the way.

I played as the French in the Terra map and they are both industrious and creative and yes there's bot marble and stone nearby.
The culture of Paris was so strong that both Berlin and London revolted to my side and since London was the only English city at the time they ceased to exist.
I love wonders so I'm always industrious but I prefer stone because of Stonehenge and the pyramids early on. After that it hardly matters much.
