It would be difficult and maybe a bit unfair to compare the 2 unless we're prepared to say that ronaldinho is at the peak of his game. assuming he is, i would have to say that between them, zidane is the more consummate midfielder and therefore the "better" player. For one, zizou can impose his game when he wants to. When he takes possession, you can sense there’s a shift in pace and then it’s just all about him and the ball. His ablility to control a ball is amazing. People say it’s almost supernatural, well maybe. I don’t know how he does it but he sort of commands it and the ball does what he wants. I’ve seen the confused looks on his opponent’s face when zizou moves that ball around and it’s pretty funny. He’s very adroit and it’s often difficult to take the ball off him something which I can’t really say about ronnie. Plus, I think zizou has a more developed sense of movement, better than ronnie’s even on a good day. He has great anticipation, and he can seem to process the dynamics in his mind ahead of everybody else. I love it when ronnie executes his show-off moves but then zidane has got those too and maybe more but he’s not one to bowl us over with flash when he knows playing it simple and straightforward will do the trick. The thing with ronnie is, he dazzles us with his fancy footwork but when he’s in a good position to score, the ball gets kicked away and it’s such a letdown you feel like booing him. Although of course for goal scoring abilities ronnie clearly has the edge. Still, in terms of execution zizou gets my vote. Did you see that goal he scored in real madrid vs. leverkusen 2002? It was spectacular.

I think Zidane so far is a more complete player that Ronaldinho. He is more of a team like player. Ronaldinho on the other hand is much more skilled than Zidane.
I think that to really answer this question we will need to wait until Ronaldinho retires so we can then compare both of them.
Now, I will choose Zidane because of his achievements:

Zidane of course. Zidane is the most complete player ever having graced to football pitch. He can header - remember france 98, he has impeccable skills, he can shoot from long range, is a playmaker, and creates space for other players. Ronaldhino just has imppecable on the ball skills.
It should be Zidane or Pele. Now thats a hard one

Zidane I'm gonna have to say. Ronaldinho didn't do so good this WC except in the last match.

Zidane, because he is not afraid to take risks and responsabilities for his team as he has shown with France, Juventus and Real Madrid.
Ronaldihno went to Germany on holidays and even in the overrated Barcelona he is not the leader of the team.
