MikeT,
I have an '06 Ridgeline and ABSOLUTELY love it! The Odyssey and Ridgeline are very different vehicles (truck vs. mini-van). However the Odyssey is very stable, very quite, and very smooth; even more so than the Ridgeline. From a comfort level as it pertains to a family you can not beat the Odyssey. I am more comfortable driving the Odyssey because there are more things to adjust (i.e. pedals and telescoping steering wheel). The only complaint I have about the Odyssey is my right knee rests up against the center console. There is really no way to avoid this when it comes to the vast majority of vehicles on the road, so you can't fault the Odyssey for this, just my preference.
It is kind of hard to choose, but when I need to run an errand I take my Ridgeline because I love it. But I also really like driving the Odyssey. I made the comment to my wife one time that it is like driving down the highway sitting in your living room.
