The other thing that Megadeth have going for them is apart from the debut album they've had solid production, whereas Metallica have released some real howlers in production terms. They totally fluffed the chance to release a proper "Justice for Jason" remix for the anniversary of And Justice for All.
We also have to remember that we were still seeing Mustaine writing credits by Metallica's second album. Mustaine was the stronger songwriter of the bunch. Megadeth have also had the benefit of two shit-hot lead guitarists for much of their career, and usually a very good drummer. Hetfield is an amazing rhythm guitarist, but he's let down by Lars and Kirk in terms of musical prowess.
I'm a fan of both bands. But the difference is that I can listen and enjoy recent Megadeth releases, whereas to enjoy Metallica I'm listen to 30 year old records.

Did Megadeath go on to make more "songful" material like Metallica on the black album onwards? Or did they stay strictly thrash metal?
If they did I'll need to check it out as I prefer the Metallica stuff that metal purists might call pop music. I do love the earlier stuff too though.
Megadeth were better in the 1990s.
They've both been shit for a very long time since.
Yeah, that one!
