Well, I really liked both in this case. I thought Ringu had the edge because I really liked the audio... added a lot of creepiness. But The Ring was definitely a worthy remake.
My other comparison, though... Have you seen Open Your Eyes? People talk about how "original" Vanilla Sky was, but he might as well have just overdubbed Open Your Eyes and added a pop music soundtrack. The movies were identical for the most part, except the original had much more atmosphere and much better acting. Hell, Cameron Crowe even hired the exact same actress to play Maria (I think that was her name... the role played by Penelope Cruz).
