Apples and oranges. They both kick ass for completely different reasons. I have a fairly complete collection by both bands and really, I wouldn't ever even _try_ to pick a favorite; they're too different from one another.
I do have one bone to pick, though... Zeppelin... original? I love 'em, man, and nobody put all the parts togetehr quite that way before or since, but at the heart of things, they were just another heavy rock band. Definitely one of the best practicioners, sure, but... original? I think all the lawsuits from people they blatantly ripped off are strong evidence to the contrary and Page didn't get the "Robber Baron of Rock 'N Roll" nickname for nothing...
And all the Stones ever wanted was to ape American R&B and country acts... they just found a groove where they could do that and sound like nobody but themselves in the process.
