It's a tough choice, but I voted for the Stones.
Put simply, the period of years 1968-1973 yielded 5 of rock's GREATEST records:
Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers Exile on Main Street
Goats Head Soup
And, BEFORE all of that, they released dozens of GREAT tunes - the ones we all know & love!
Of course, like Deep Purple, the kept it going tooooooo long, & soiled their legacy. Had the Stones retired in '75, they'd get the credit they truly deserve - much like the Beatles & Led Zep who knew when to end a good thing.
And, speaking of the Beatles, they're amazing - especially everything from "Rubber Soul" forward. But, IMO, they just lacked that edge that the Stones have. In many ways, I view the Stones as the first "metal" band, as what they were doing in 64 was LIGHT YEARS more dangerous that ANYTHING out there. They had the 'metal vibe'.

Mike and Keith can kick Paul and John any day with voth hands and legs tied up.
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Rape! Murder! It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Rape! Murder! It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
The floods is threat'ning my very life today.
Gimme, gimme shelter or I'm gonna fade away.
