If you haven't published papers or done any serious presentations, does it matter which one you choose? The applications say either is fine but I'm wondering if a resume looks amateurish (my cv looks bare and kind of pretentious at this point).
currilculum vitae vs resume,
cv vs resume

I also had trouble when I started compiling it (thought I had too little to say), but after adding in all the research/teaching/ academic/work experience I had, it came up to quite a lot.
The professor who is my first choice for adviser called it "impressive", both to me and to my LoR writers. And I have no publications or conference theses in there...
Believe in yourself, you're probably more "CV"able than you think!

Also, if you haven't already, you can fill out your CV by including some details about your research experience. "Research assistant" can really mean you did anything from simple data entry to designing and running your own studies, so (especially if your experience is closer to the latter) let them know what you've done.
And also, I agree that most peoples' CVs will be pretty bare at this point, so don't worry about that!
