Team Both
It's not Pink Floyd without both Waters and Gilmour. Waters was the creative mind behind the concepts and hence most of the lyrics. But Gilmour plays with so much feel that nobody else can quite replicate it. However, if you put a gun to my head I'd say Waters. I've seen post-Waters PF and I've seen Waters play DSotM and The Wall. Waters sounded more like Floyd than Floyd did without him.
Its his voice. Theres just no one else that sounds as creepy/powerful as that motherfricker. His hooting and sound effects in piper at the gates, the duck calls, etc.

The good news is you can like both! Rather have a beer with Gilmour

Gilmour seems like a more likeable guy IMO.
Waters fascination with human psychology and bouts with depression really drove some great songwriting, however.

Gilmour

Gilmour and it's not even close.
Waters is a genius and all that, but he is also a piece of shite arrogant arse clown. Waters was the brain. Gilmour was the heart and soul. Wright tied everything together and Mason was the steady baseline.

I go Gilmour because of the guitar work.
He joined in 1967. It's not like he got into a fully established group.

Neither did much of note after their parting of ways - Radio Kaos was okay - the post-Waters' Floyd albums were okay.
But, the run from, particularly, DSOM through The Final Cut was epic. That was what we call "synergy" - or the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.

Look at their creative peak and it is obvious that Roger Waters was the creative spark. The amount of quality material produced was staggering.

I love "Learning to Fly" -
But they were much better together.
Roger was a passable bass player and more of a vocal stylist, than an actual singer. Gilmour is a virtuoso guitarist and, while not a top tier singer (apparently Floyd didn't need one) - had/has a much, much better singing voice than Roger ever did - and Roger can't sing at all anymore.
ETA: Of course, Roger wrote most/all of the songs that mattered in the group's post-Barrett legacy.

Waters is the only man on earth who could waste Eric Clapton. I can't believe people are holding up his solo career as an endorsement of his talent. I'd definitely side with Gilmour...
... of course, my favorite album of theirs is Piper at the Gates of Dawn, so take anything I say about Floyd with a grain of salt. I'm a Syd guy.

"Keep Talking" is one of my top ten Floyd songs.

Gilmour. Waters is weird as frick (see the entire "The Final Cut" album).

Also, in all of Pink Floyd's greatest songs Gilmour gets a song writing credit.
