Mozart is the best.

Beethoven>Mozart :PBeethoven is pretty cool too... but he's not as good as Mozart. Mozart understood that music was the stage, the drama, not just a bunch of emo, and that theatrical structure to his music made all the difference. Comparing the only opera Beethoven ever wrote, Fidelio, which took him forever and a day to complete and with which he heartily struggled, with any opera Mozart wrote in a breezy time period, even one from his teenibopper youth, shows me that Beethoven's talent, for all its inner tormented depth, had limits that Mozart could never have imagined existed.
But again, Beethoven is still pretty cool. I enjoy playing his stuff from time to time, before I move on to something more spunky. I like to think he and Wagner are arm wrestling in hell.
Opera, of course Mozart blows LvB away. Fidelio is boring. Symphonies, Beethoven is far better than Mozart (though Moozart aint no slouch).
