personally i still think that la liga is better because there is more strength and depth from top to bottom, plus i prefer the footballing mentality there.

I dunno - people have made that comment a lot re depth of field, but looking at La Liga, the same teams tend to dominate - going back to 1985, the title has been won 18 times by either Barca or Real Madrid. That's an SPL Old Firm level of domination by just two teams. And the way the TV money is in Spain - each team can negotiate it's own deals - means those two will continue to dominate.
I think the Prem is, currently, the top league but only by a smidgen, and in years to come, it will likely shift again. I would not be surprised to see the Bundesliga end up as top dog in a few years - with the biggest population, entertaining, high scoring football and the highest attendances of any European country, it may only be a matter of time.
