I think DP is the better of the two. I can't be sure yet considering one only has around 60 episodes out so far but just comparing what they do have, DP is better for me. When the first episode of BW came out, I was very excited. It was a completely new region and a lot of things had changed like Ash's outfit and the animation style. As the series went on though, I slowly began to get disappointed. While the series was good, Ash pretty much forgot a lot of the lessons he learned while in other regions which didn't happen in DP. I know the company probably did this so that kids who were newer to the series wouldn't feel left out, but for someone like me who watched it since the Indigo League, it was somewhat of a letdown. By episode 50, I felt like I was forcing myself to watch it. For DP though, the only thing I was really frustrated about was probably the dub.
Plot wise I felt DP was better. There was a lot of story like with the Team Galactic arc and the summer academy. With Black and White though. You really only get episodes where they're either traveling or battling. With Dawn in the mix though, we had a nice combination of battles, contests, and the parts where characters where developed. Also, this really can't be used against BW in anyway, but I liked how the movies in DP were linked to one another.
Now for the Rivals. We can pretty much put it as Paul vs Trip and Barry vs Bianca. Most People would probably agree, Paul is a better rival than Trip. Paul is this arrogant jerk who treats his pokemon like they're tools. Completely different from Ash. Trip on the other hand is a starting trainer who is kind of boring and takes pictures. As for Barry and Bianca, I'd have to say they're pretty similar. They're both clowns, but they battle pretty well.
I can't really think about anything else at the moment but based on this, I'd say that DP is a better series.
Anyways, sorry for the long speech and don't flame me too hard.
