Asimovs tends to have more 'literary' SF than Analog - it wins more awards than any other SF mag. Personally I find Analog the most consistently readable SF magazine out there, though there is a focus on 'problem-solving' stories that don't appeal to everyone.
If you like 'old-school' SF then Analog is a good choice - if you're into more modern and less traditional approaches to the genre you may prefer Asimovs. Interzone is interesting, more like Asimovs in tone than Analog, but I've only read a handful of issues so I can't really judge it as well.
I started with Asimovs with the third or fourth issue back in 1977, and I've read most of Analog since its inception.
