I have a few similar apps for vector artwork, but I prefer that Illustrator be the default app for opening files (right now another app that I like for freehand drawing is the default, but I use Illustrator much more for most files).

Select any AI file and press Command + i and the Info window will open. In the Open With section, choose Adobe Illustator and press the Change All button. Repeat for EPS.
