Hatfield for me John. 
Mahavishnu very rarely speaks to me, although I've heard some cool snippets here and there.

On another note: I've always wondered what Hatfield would have sounded like had they stuck together for a third and fourth album.

Me too. If it had been The Inner  Mountain Flame rather than Birds of Fire, I'd have voted for MahavOrch.

Hum. I don't know yet. I'm not a big Mahavishnu's fan, but this album is fantastic. I bought Rotter recently and I don't know it very well. But i'm sure I'm gonna love it. as much as the first album. Tough choice, Johnny. Broken Heart

Mahavishnu without a doubt. I dig Hatfield but nothing of theirs can compare to the works of Mahavishnu to me.

but I am a McLaughlin disciple, and so am biased.

Two studio albums wasn't enough for sure, although the Hatwise and Hattitude albums at least give us some live music and more. Maybe National Health gives us a hint of what they would have been like.

LOL Tough choice for me too Pierre and I know them about equally but both are incredible in their own ways.

Interesting, and it looks like this could end in a tie as it's back and forth continually.

Pretty much this. 

Rotters Club is an essential Canterbury record, and my personal favorite from the band. Their debut didn't grab me as much.
