Fulci for gore and drama
Argento for suspense and crime
Both are good directors, and they're both good at their own style. I perfer Argento, but that's because I perfer suspense to gore. I also feel that Argento had more above average attempts at making good films. Only about 7 of Fulci's films are truly well made, while Argento has over 13 good films in his filmography.

yes argento is an artist , but you have to realize something .. argento was born to a father who happense to a proudcer !!..se he was pretty lucky and had all the budgets he needed for his films while fulci actually needed money sometimes , was offered scripts he didn't write ..etc etc
till now i've seen one film to fulci so i can't judge ..i'v seen all of argento films and yes the guy is imagnitive as hell with a powerfull vision .
i have to watch much more films to fulci to be able to pick one.
but i think mario bava , dario argento and lucio fulci are the most famous italian horror directors .
naturally there's another italian name that i think represents the word art! ..and it's sergio leone .
i alwayse felt italy have the best directors '' not so good of an actors though '' -

I wouldn't say that they're ahead of their European counterparts. I find that really disrespectful to all the amazing talent present in Europe at the time. Personally I have more love for Fulci, but if I had to choose between watching either directors complete works, end to end, with no breaks I would pick Argento. I think it's something of an unfair comparison, though.
