I prefer Lending Club for a number of reasons, including the fact that you can make smaller loans so if one person defaults then you only lose $25 on them, instead of $50 like with Prosper.

They are good investments but I would stay away from the lower credit grades and start out very slow. Stay diversified and only choose P2P lending if you have debts paid off, an emergency fund, and have already maxed out more tax friendly investments. Check out my blog for some more info, especially the "New to p2p lending?" articles listed on the top right. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
