James Hetfield was the ultimate thrash metal vocalist in his day, and his latter day vocals arenĀ“t the worst either, although I prefer his aggressive vocal style on the early releases. Mustaine is distinct sounding, but often sounds almost painfully strained. I like him, but he is not a favorite.

Mustaine's the better guitarist, Hetfield the better singer and songwriter. Both have idiotic religious beliefs, which didn't used to bother me, but seems to now I'm older.

Well Hetfield is a better singer by far  - both good guitarists but Metallica haven't released a great album for 24 years. In that time Megadeth have released  a few. Mustaine wasn't a particularly endearing character in his past but he seems to have improved with age. Overall though I'd give Hetfield the vote.

Hetfield's vocals deteriorated after Load, his vocal performances got worse and worse and his songwriting isn't that great anymore (see Reload, such a patchy, uneven album and St Anger was pretty bad). People say Death Magnetic was great but both Endgame and The System Has Failed are just better IMO.

I posted this five years ago (wow, time flies) and my opinion has changed. Actually neither of these two impress me these days.
Dave's vocals have got bad as well, even worse than Hetfield's. Supercollider was just as bad as St Anger.
I've grown to like Load/Reload more so I wouldn't be so harsh on 90s Metallica.
I still think Death Magnetic is rather uninspired, terrible drumming and the production was poor (which I never understood how can the most famous metal band out there have such crappy sound on an album).

As a guitarist, Mustaine by miles (though over time I've come to realize James is surprisingly good, and probably the most musically gifted in the band).

As a vocalist, James is obviously better.
 
Oh and this doesn't have anything to do with the music but personality wise...only the most hardcore of fanboys can't admit that Mustaine is an ass of epic proportions. LOL
I love him but good lord man!

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!
