I can't really judge which is better. I think the guardian is better as I always read their website and stuff.

I read the Guardian more, but on this question I have to give a resounding vote to The Times. The Guardian tables are complete shite...where are Bristol and Cambridge in the Top 10 for Chemistry?...two of the top departments in the country. Why is Oxford top for Computer Science...ahead of places like Cambridge/Imperial/Warwick/York? I can't comment on the arts subjects, since it's harder to rate them, but the science tables at least are positively whacked.

I look at the Guardian league table seeing as it's far more colourful, and well set out compared to the Times one. Yes things like this matter to me.

I find the guardian is based far too much on value added therefore if a university only accepts the best it will score lower in the table becasue less can be added so i prefer the times

I prefer the Times, the Guardian's table is silly, but then again most tables are. Gnostic probably likes the FT & the Guardian - KCL is ranked 10?!

The Guardian league tables are a disgrace, resulting in a new wealth of comedy propaganda. Middlesex Uni now boasts on all it's promo material that it's a "Top 20 university", when any sensible table puts it about 80th.

A very interesting measure of employability is in The Times' subjects tables this year. It gives you the % of students who go into degree-level jobs upon graduation, i.e. ones you need a degree for. For law/medicine it's 90% at the top places, for non-vocational arts subjects it's about 80% at the top places, 60-70% at decent unis, and drops below 50% at the bottom of some subject tables.
