When it comes to lyrical abilty Ozzy wins hands down. Look at the first six Sabbath albums, up to and including Sabotage, and you have some of the best metal lyrics ever. Ozzy's voice fits Sabbath, and so his voice has to go down as perfect for one of the greatest metal acts.
Dio had the better voice, for sure. His work on Rainbow Rising and Heaven and Hell is awesome. His writing is not as good as Ozzy's.
They are both metal legends with voices that fit the moment. Dio the better voice, but Ozzy the better wordsmith.
