Liszt.
Every single day of the week.
I think where their piano outputs are more or less a wash (and I much prefer Liszt here)...well Liszt wrote a lot more great music in other areas.
Great choral works like
Christus
,
Psalm XIII
,
Missa Solemnis
,
Via Crucis
,
Die heilige Cäcilia
- and many more works, both in the short and large scale.
Great orchestral works like
Tasso, Lamento e Trionfo
,
Les préludes
,
Orpheus
,
Eine Faust-Symphonie
,
Eine Symphonie zu Dante's Divina Commedia
- and more.
I don't know Chopin's and Liszt's songs well enough to comment.
Liszt also wrote three great organ works in the
Präludium und Fuge über das Thema BACH
,
Weinen, Klagen' Variationen
, and especially the
Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale Ad nos, ad salutarem undam
.

Chopin, most definitely!
I enjoy Liszt also, but Chopin is and has always been one of my favorites. There are so many great works for the piano by him, many of which are even a good level for me to play.

That's a tough one for me...
I'm undecided
