Toad, hands down. The solo on Moby Dick is ridiculously boring. It's just Bonham dicking around on his dum set. Admittedly, there are some fun parts (e.g. when the Tambourine comes in), but overall it's very spasmodic. Baker's solo is much more flowing and melodic and actually keeps me much more interested throughout (with only a few exceptions). I guess it's jazzier, though I don;t really know anything about Jazz, so don't crucify me if I'm wrng. Also, I love the simplicity of those power chords that open the instrumental (it's not really song, now, is it?). It's just that Baker seems to have more... finesse. Bonham was a great supporting power drummer, but I've only heard good solos from jazz/prog drummers, and Baker was one of those.
