I like them both. I've seen just about all of their films and I have to say they both are excellent actors.

RD. AP went from a less is more actor to a more is less actor. I prefer the former.

I think both in their prime were equally good just different style.

Al Pacino in his prime is more Robert Downey Jr, maybe always seem to be playing himself but can definitely entreating and knows to portray lots of emotions plus being able to do more lighthearted stuff like scent of a woman.

While Deniro in his prime was like these Days Daniel Day Lewis or Christian Bale much more focused on dramas and being a Chameleon.
