The discussion I remember more was Iron Maiden fans vs Metallica ones. I was old already when Dave parted ways and so it never seemed to me to be a really great deal. Both are good bands technically but neither has a killer singer like Maiden has (different styles, I know, but it makes a great difference to me), so I never bothered too much since I would prefer the great vocalists (Bruce, Halford, Dio) rather than just the great sound of the instruments (which both Mettallica and Deth have; heck, Kiko Loureiro is a monster and I'm a proud Brazilian patrician of his). It's only been about 15 years since I started listening to these bands with more attention. But if I had to choose, probably Megadeth, for the simple fact they never released a Black Album of sorts.
