Queen by a landslide.

If I'd to choose between Queen and Saga, it would be tougher to choose. :D

just not a fan of either, although both put out an album or two that I would rate 3 stars.  I think they both sold out and made a lot of awful music when they did, drowning out earlier career quality in the process.

Both these bands created multi-genre music. Surely, they were mega-hit machines, but where Queen had the 'glammy' hard-rock thing happening from the outset, ELO were a genuine Prog-Rock band that streamlined fairly quickly, much in the same way Split Enz did.

I'm a bit skeptical of either band ever really selling out.

Not a fan of ELO. Can't handle that ELO "sound". I like a lot of Queen songs so Queen it is

Yeah, I'm  a fan of ELO to. But I think Ticket To The Moon rocks.

That's a good one. When I was a teenager ELO was my favorite band. 
Now I would say I'm more of a Queen fan.
