Never tried Vegemite, but I've seen it in my local supermarkets. I think I'll indulge in a pot now it's been mentioned.
Marmite is the king of spreads if you have a savoury palate. As Nap said earlier, use it sparingly, especially if you're unused to it. Once you get as incorrigible as me, you'll be eating it by the spoonful. Back in 2010, Unilever came out with a limited edition extra-strong, extra-mature version in special presentation packaging, which my darling Sam went out and bought for me, despite being a hater herself. I've still got a lot of it left; it's actually a zombie food in the sense that it never goes off, just thick like honey. And like honey, it can be revived by standing the jar in hot water.
Fun fact: The word 'marmite' should actually be pronounced 'mar-meet', as it's the name of the covered cooking pot depicted on the label.
If Marmite is the king of savouries, then Bovril is the emperor; a lighter, softer, beefier version intended as a hot drink, but which can act as a gateway spread.
(Btw, like my new hairdo?)

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
