while both have their drawbacks and strengths, I believe that Deidara's explosive clay is the stronger not just due to the scale of destruction it causes being larger, but because it's more versatile both in accordance with mobility (comes in the shape of bird, spiders and a dragon) and tacticcally more useful (mines -> control the battlefield)
