I like Caravan very much, but the Nats were just too good.

Caravan's classic era is hard to beat - Canterbury or not.

I do like more quantities of music by Caravan (of course it not really comparable) but imo National Health's self titled debut is the only five star classic from any of these bands. I guess both seems about fair.

Caravan is far and away the best Canterbury scene band.

Not much of a backlog of Nasty Health studio albums to consider this match-up equitable (like there's three of them). But when they were in the zone, Caravan prog rocked suitably enough. Also a little more traditional compared to 'Health's output which I happen to "canter" to (Caravan, that is). I wouldn't recommend most of what they did, though.

Both - but if I had to choose, National Health.
