Difficult choice. Both cameras will probably be awesome, so you need to make up your mind what is more important for you.

If you really need this a little better IQ at high ISO, and shallower DOF - go with Fuji.

If it's performance, wider selection of lenses (which are cheaper also), and some other features like IBIS, weathersealing or tiltable touch screen that you think you would prefer - it's OM-D.

It would be best if you could check out both at a store - just handling the cameras may help you make the decision.

Also, you say that kit lens of the OM-D is crap, but most reviews i read were very positive, and I like a lot also, so I'm not sure where did you get it from. It's most of all fun.

So - speed and versatility of a robust camera - Olympus. Street photography - Fuji.
