This is just a thought, but I would think a lot would depend on what “widget” was. If it were an important purchase like a house, boat, car, or pet then I think the “sales” one would be the most frequently searched. If it were something small like a book, CD, or pen then I think the “buy” would be the most frequently searched.

Of course you can always look at actual data from Wordtracker, Overture tool, etc. but to really settle the score you could use Adwords and make sure both words are always on the first page of Google. Then the one with the most impressions wins – maybe you could even see which one converts better while you are at it.
