From what I've read of both uptil the late 70s, Marvel is in a different league quality wise, even though I do like a lot of the really old Batman stuff from the 30s and 40s.

Anybody who hasn't read stuff by Marvel in the 60s and 70s should do so, this really is the Golden Age of Marvel.
DC had a pretty bad spate in the 80s when their best-selling comic (Batman) sold worse than Marvel's least-selling comic (Shang-Chi)

but I think they've caught up since then, with sterling stories
