As a developer, I would definitely prefer the higher capacity and data transfer speeds of the Blu-ray format. I haven't seen anything unique from the HD-DVD specs that would make me lean towards that one instead.
PS3 gives the option to copy the textures to the hard drive to speed up gameplay, so it doesn't sound like the transfer rate is that much greater than DVD.
