Ahh!This is really tough. I'm gonna go with Julian, though, only because I think I prefer Gabriel as a middle name.

I think that both are nice names, but my vote goes to Julian because right now it's not quite as popular as Gabriel where I live.

I love both, but I am more likely to actually use Gabriel.

JulianI do like both names. Both have a soft sound which is very attractive to me. I prefer Julian because Gabriel feels like it has had its time. Julian is so classy and although it has caught on here on the board I don't regard it as overly popular. You could use both in a sibset because the softer sounds complement one another.

Gabriel. I just can't get behind Julian. It seems a little effeminate to me, probably because there is a very effeminate comedian here called Julian Clary. I don't even think he is funny. I far prefer Julia or Juliet on a girl to Julian on a boy. On the other hand Gabriel seems strong and I have good associations with it.

Gabriel. It's more unusual where I live, and I find Julian too upper-class / affected sounding.ETA: Neither Gabriel nor Julian is top 100 in Scotland, but there are several men in the public eye called Julian, whereas none come to mind with the name Gabriel.
