Not a RTS player so I'm not qualified to comment but I'm very confident from my newsposting that LoE received poorer reviews on average than War of the Ring. If that means anything. There's demos of both, isn't there?

Lords of Everquest is a ridiculous and simplified RTS. Only one kind of resource? What were they thinking?
Plus, seeing as it is such a rip-off from WC3, it's just better to play the original and be done with it. It is way funnier to play multiplayer anyway.
I haven't tried War of the Ring yet.
Why just not play Spellforce or something?

Get Spellforce or wait for LoTR: The Battle for Middle Earth. That RTS will be stupendous.

Have you beaten Lords o' EQ, Hexy?
The more I've read that is recent, Dhruins observation seems to become more evident. Lords of EQ seems to be getting it far worse then the Hobbits. It kinda reminds me of Black and White, reviewed as good before it was even released practically. Now people have been able to really dig into the game and are getting the real picture they arent so thrilled 
I'm more interested actually with how the source material is used. I figured that someone here on RpgDot has to have conquered the SP campaign of one of them. After all, they are a couple of the biggest high fantasy RPG-ish themes ever unleashed! I think Frodo wins this contest tho. LoTR armies look great, what fun to have some epic battles with the LoTR pantheon of warriors. I must command a legion of them. Or ten 
Looking into Spellforce now, I didnt even know about it, thanks!

Nope, haven't finished it yet.
I've only been playing around in the different campaigns. Then again, I haven't really bothered with it very much.
I don't now why, but it doesn't have a very EQ-ish feel to it.

You can find a few impressions in the SpellForce forum. It´s an interesting game. Just be aware that it requires some patience. This is nothing you can play for 30 minutes.

SpellForce has replay value due to the free character development. Although you don´t really need replay value with a 100+ hours campaign.  With my slow play I´ll have problems to make it in 200 hours.
The demo is based upon the European retail build. The interface issues are only minor. It could be a bit optimized (less mouseclicks, better default choices, etc.) but it works surprisingly well. Especially the 'Click 'n' Fight' combat
is interesting. You´re missing someting if you only try the standard RTS controls.
Two things have been fixed so far. Qucksave is enabled (F7 + F9) and hero runes are color coded, so their category can be identified easily.
