Tool, by a million miles. Dream Theater have emotionally disengaged lyrics and a singer with an annoying voice. So what if they display blatant virtuosity in vevery? Tool have more intereresting compositions, a more innovative style, and musicians who are prepared to shelve their egos to serve the music.

I voted for Tool because they're more original. but I'd vote for Meshuggah over both of 'em in a second.

As much as I love both, Dream Theater has been one of my long-standing favorites, and I would still take them over almost any band.

Dream Theater for me. They essentially pioneered and popularized prog metal. Tool are a little too alternative metalish for me taste.
EDIT: Ironically, I love James Labrie's voice, but don't like Maynard James Keenan.

Well as usual I have to vote Dream Theater.  Tool makes excellent music, but as unique as it is it fails to have the degree of variation a band like Dream Theater has.
