Not a huge fan of either band but I like more Sabbath songs than DP, so Sabbath it is

Exactly..."Made in Japan" was the 1st live album I ever bought and remains the only DP album I own.  I give DP props for one the best live albums ever, but Sabbath single handedly invented doom metal so it's not even close for me.

For me, Sabbath albums have the longevity - they never get tired.....
Purple I've adored for many years, but, apart from their first 3 albums and Made In Japan, that's it. And I used to have around 15 albums of theirs.

This is like asking do you prefer meat or cheese ? 

Why do I have to prefer one over the other ?

Sabbath
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

Very hard choice, as I like them both… The metal fathers Sabbath were ground-breaking, great in the 70s and until Heaven & Hell, the rest of their discography is mostly forgettable. If I vote for DP it would be because during their shockingly long and prolific career they have represented a wider variety of genres, psychedelic, progressive, hard rock, blues rock, metal etc., their latest album being pretty good.
