Ooooh, now this is a close one. I do find Old Boy a little overrated personally and I prefer Lady Vengeance in the vengeance trilogy and the problem with Ich is that it is cut in virtually every country in one form or another. I have the 2 disc Dutch version which cost me a little more than I usually pay for DVD's but it's completely uncut status and packaging won me over.
I genuinely can't decide. Old Boy is definitely more intense but I love the black comedy in Ichi (apart from the nipple slicing scene which was a difficult watch).
