No, really you can't. Comparing artists from two different genres is not possible because they aren't really doing the same thing. Yes, its all music, but they approach it in completely different ways and bring completely different things to the table.
You can, just don't expect good results. The question of this thread is to find out who you like better. Yes, it doesn't make much sense, but still. Anyway, your example about helicopters and subs was missing the point. The reasonable question would be: "Would you like to ride in a helicopter or submarine?"
