Both are very good choices. I'd say go for the Nikon if you need the additional focus points and need acceptable Af in the lowest of low light. The 5Ds Af can struggle a bit in extremly low light (candle light). In all other circumstances, including normal indoor conditions and low lit churches, the 5D's AF is very competent. So unless sports and near darkness are on your shooting list, the AF of the 5D is sufficient (Iam shooting a 5d Mark II right now).
I'd reevaluate the low light image quality point. While it is true that the Nikon has a little less noise than the canon when you view both pics 100% side by side, this differnce is invisible in any normal image viewing conditions. Remeber, you view the canon image at a much higher magnification than the Nikon, if you look at both of them at 100%. In prints of equal size, there is almost no difference.

Why? Both of them are FF cameras. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> There is no difference in magnification! Have I missed something?
