I voted neither, not because they lack relevance, but becuase its apples and oranges to compare them. Sun Tzu dealth with strategic and politcal goals of war as applied to the nation state. Von Clauswitz dealt with tactical and operational matters pertainig to feild armies once a state of war exists.

its like comparing Eisenhower or Marshal (masters of the Sun Tzu school of total and politcal warfare) and Patton (one of the great feild commanders) the two simply don't readily comapre but rather complament one another.
