If you're a fan of folk rock, then you'll most likely choose Zep, if you're more of the darker metal edge persuasion, then you'll pick Sabbath. For me, it mostly boils down to the two guitar players, with Page being more subtle and organic with a lighter, whimsical approach and Iommi being more straight forward and rigid with darker elements. Being left handed and missing a finger tip had a big role in his choice of guitar timbre. Hence the darker sound.
Personally, I've had a Zeppelin phase and grew out of it, but I've never gotten tired of Sabbath.
