Ian Paice vs Bill Ward

Ian is much better imo

I love Ward's drumming on those first 6 or so Sabbath albums, he perfectly fits their heavy doomy style but I think Paice was a more proficient musician.

I prefer Bill's drumming over Ian's, part of that is because I prefer BS over DP. I appreciate both as great drummers of the 70's and I don't think I could choose one over the other in "technical" merits (although I'd probably lean towards Ian as a more versatile drummer).
