    "ubiquitaquaticism" ("u" added) The belief that water is everywhere?

  Both are in nearly every dictionary around. And given the base of "ubiquitous", I prefer adding a "ness" to denote a quality, which is extremely common in English and can even be applied to words that don't normally accept it, so it's an easy cognate. Something being cheesy == has cheesiness. "Ubiquity" is more of a hacked form of a word, as it removes from the base word. Though I admit it's shorter, thus may eventually achieve ubiquity over ubiquitousness.

    I find the asininity of this debate exasperating.

    Not to continue the content-free let-me-fix-that-for-ya sniping you're answering, but "ubiquity" dates back to 1579. It's a nice, old word, not a hack or neologism. Nonetheless, both words are entirely proper, acceptable, and clear.
