I love the top one, as others said - the color 8D (love how you chose a yummy red), it also gives a good contrast on both sides of your business card - like a front and back type of thing.
I like the top one actually, but if your press guys are anything like mine, they'll bitch up and down about having to run a solid color like that. So I'd go with the bottom one, but I'd make the margins a little bigger...the first thing I noticed is that your text is pretty close to the edge.
I like the top one, grabs your attention and creates a contrast defining th back and front.
I used to work at a print shop, and as saerie says, its true solid colours can be temperamental, depending on how the cards are printed - High production Digital vs cmyk offset. The reason why solid colours can be a bitch if they are printed digital is because banding and uneven colour coverage is more noticeable, some cellos don't stick as well on digital because of the gloss sheen you get with toners - but this comes down to the maintenance of the printers and so on. At my old job I would send these sorts jobs out to industrial cmyk offset printers, as it would be easier for me in the long run.

I think the type ovewherms the logo mark in the bottom one, and I like having it all on one line.
