BY FAR the Rachmaninoff. I've never played the Prokofiev but I've done plenty of examination and the Rachmaninoff is much harder (not that it matters, what really matters is the musical quality, which the Rachmaninoff wins in as well lol).

Just to undoubtedly drag this on to it's infinte conclusion, I'm going to say the Prokofiev.
I've played the Rach is actually quite manageable.  I haven't played the Prokofiev but it looks fiendish.  So of course I'm completely qualified to give you a definitive answer (like most people here)!  ;)
