Mechanix, I like Metallica a looooooooooot more than Megadeth, but anyone that says that Horsemen is better is being a silly fanboy
And the whole Dave vs Kirk thing, all I can say is that Kirk was an awesome player until Justice, listen to the solo in the Seattle dvd, AMAAAAZING!!! Then the wah came in... and now all his solos sound the same, he uses the same shapes all the time and gets REALLY boring, I don't know much about Dave's solos, but they ones I've heard are just ok, nothing special, they're good and enjoyable but nothing outstanding like One, or Master of Puppets.
So to sum it up
Kirk now: Just plays because he's in the band and has to do it without caring for the music.
Dave now: Enjoys what he does and cares for the music, he tries to make it fresh and interesting.
