Fixed Rate vs Adjustable Rate?

The fixed rates I've been encountering have been a little higher than the adjustable rates. I know this question is a little vague, but how do I approach comparing the two? At this point, it seems like a gamble to try to predict where the adjustable rate would go. Thoughts?

With interest rates as low as they are I would lean toward fixed rates. There's just nowhere for them to go but up IMO.
