Well, the point is, your question is very flawed. It's basically Pascal's Wager. Even if you consider this dichotomy legitimate... what afterlife exactly would it be? What if Islam turned out to be right about it... then you're not prepared for it, even though you believed in an afterlife, but the wrong one. That's why the question is pointless. You can use it to argue for any religion's version of 'life after death'. You can't possibly be eligible for all of them.
To answer it personally though - I think it's better to act according to all available data. And none of what I've seen has convinced me that an afterlife is possible or plausible. So I won't buy into any version of it 'just in case'. If you've come to different conclusions, hey, none of my business is it?
There is a reason I stated "I believe in God, not religion" under religious views.
Religion is a man-made construct, so while Islam is not the correct way, neither is organized Christianity. One must meet God personally, no religion can help you in that regard.
