Saying that Wayne is better than Eminem, or that Eminem is better than Wayne, is a matter of taste. In fact, saying that anyone is better than anyone else is by definition a matter of taste, unless we are basing our comparison off of objective criteria. I, personally, don't care about how an artist has degenerated or improved over time, since I choose their best songs to listen to, and I'm only concerned with lyrical ability - their musical prowess or mixing don't really matter to me, unless they are bad enough to distract significantly from the track.
Based on these criteria, I prefer Eminem, because his best songs display a higher level of (what I consider to be) lyrical talent than Wayne's best songs. Of course, not everyone will agree with me on this, so it comes back to personal preference.
