I think I have only heard a fairly small fraction of either set, so I abstain.

Grieg without a doubt for me. Some of the simplest gems there are - rare things that seem spotlessly polished and totally effortless at the same time.

I like both but voted Mendelssohn because it gets more listening time with me.
