If you're comparing these bands' prog-metal qualities then its Dream Theater by a country mile. PT have only produced a limited amount of prog-metal and DT do it much much better, they are the kings of that domain and I salute them.
However, I do think this is a difficult comparison, as the bands' overall musical style differ so much. PT are a totally different animal from their earlier days.
If assessing the bands' respective overall output it has to be PT. IMHO I don't think DT have produced albums to compare with TSMS and Up The Downstair.

Dream Theater, but only because I'm a fanboy. Porcupine Tree is easily my second favorite band.

At first, thanks to the archaeologist who rediscovered this poll.
Dream Theater easily. I never heard albums from such a high quality as "Images & Words" or "Awake" by Porcupine Tree. Though they are the more consistent band, they never reach that genius to me.

Somehow I feel compelled to vote for PT and well.... I did.
Nothing DT has put out since 2003 has really astounded me, whereas Deadwing, In Absentia and Fear of a Blank Planet were all amazing. FOABP being one of the best albums of 2007.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
