Both directors do wonders if given the right script, (and even with the less wonderful scripts, they make enjoyable films).
Even before the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Jackson had: 'Forgotten Silver,' a faux-documentary, and 'Heavenly Creatures' (which introduced Kate Winslet, I believe)...while Guillermo del Toro had:'Cronos'... 'The Devil's Backbone'...and now "Pan's Labyrinth'...
Both have a knack for the dark and fantasy-like worlds, and both are somewhat similar in appearance...
...but is one better than the other, or about the same in storytelling and directorial attributes.
I'm not sure if del Toro writes or co-writes his film, but Jackson usually co-writes his pictures with Fran Walsh, his wife...(which puts him a couple of notches above del Toro, I think).
