Mace, as far as I know is a lot stronger, but you need to be liscensed (at least in NY to carry it) Pepper spray is generally pretty easy to find, and causes a stinging sensation in a person's eyes. However, if a person is on drugs, or possibly even very drunk, they may not be aware of the pepper spray or may not be bothered by it. The problem with pepper spray also, if used on a breezy day, it can come back to you...
Your best offense, as they say, is a good defense, and not put yourself into a situatio where you could get ito trouble, always be aware of your surroundings, and don't be stupid... (I would also add trust no one, but that makes me soud bitter)
