Regarding on who's a better director, whilst I've heard nothing but great things from PTA, especially There Will Be Blood, I've yet to see any of his films, so I'm not gonna make a vote on this one. I do agree with others that Tarantino is an amazing scriptwriter - after all, the really long, classic quotes are what Tarantino's films are remembered for best - I'm not entirely sure he's a great director. That's not me saying he's a crap or great director, just that his scripts seem to make more impact to me than than his directing ability...unless, of course, he's not directing his own screenplay and it gets radically altered, so perhaps I should give him props for being 100% faithful to his own source and making great films out of it!
