Disappointed in the people taking Slayer over Coroner. Slayer isn't terrible but that's nostalgia talking.

Well obviously. But why? Coroner has consistently been highly rated and mentioned otherwise.

by far the hardest one here is Sepultura vs Testament. Sodom vs Dark Angel comes second. The rest are pretty easy.

Coroner is a band with five albums, Slayer is a band with five albums worth mentioning, and Coroner's five generally wipe the floor with Slayer's. The only counter argument one could reasonably make is that RIP and Grin aren't thrash albums and therefore aren't valid for discussion.

l think for me.. RIP (is very much thrash), Punishment For Decadence, No More Colour and Mental Vortex are a stronger string of albums than the first 5 Slayer albums. That's my ear's you fuckers - not your's. Grin was a disappointment.

cant argue with someone picking one over the other for that one. Two of the greatest thrash bands of all time

By comparison to Slayer, one of the most beloved metal bands of all time? Coroner are amazing but the respect and love they get pales by comparison, if that's the qualifier you're going with.
For me Slayer has a few things over Coroner (though it was still somewhat a hard choice). Seniority (might be cliche but Slayer did "extreme metal" while most bands were still twiddling their thumbs), Slayer's influence impacted the development of the kind of metal I value more than what Coroner influenced (tech and prog bands), Slayer are catchier and way the fuck more memorable IMO, contrary to ContrarianburgerBoy's views I don't think RIP touches anything from Slayer's first 5 albums and Grin doesn't touch most in that 5 either.
This is what Coroner were doing (and the following year was RIP which doesn't come close to Slayer either) while Slayer were doing Reign in Blood, one of the most intense and brutal thrash albums of all time:

That's definitely true. I was about to say Anacrusis but I've never heard whatever that 2010 album is.
