The wise among you will remember that these guys were version counterparts back in the days of GSC. Both of them are animal brutes with high Attack Power.
I absolutley love both. Donphan is undeniably better, as it has high defence as well as Attack, and doubles as a Rapid Spinner: but I like Ursaring just a little bit more. There's something just too cool about that bloodthirsty bear........
Sadly, he gets neglected because of over-abundant normal types. It's a shame, really......
 
I prefer Donphan. They are both good and they make excellent sweepers. I am voting Donphan because he gets ancientpower and rapid spin as well as a stabbed Earthquake. I am currently battling an Ursaring on netbattle (yes, I am multitasking) but I am about to kill it using a sunnybeaming Exeggutor as I am sure it does not have Shadow Ball or Aerial Ace so i am happy...

EDIT:The Ursaring had Aerial Ace. Damn...but my Exeggutor still survived. And now the opponent sends out a Charizard with Blast Burn... people these days...

^ lol Blast Burn. What was the SN of the guy you battled?

Anyway, it's extremely hard for me to choose. They're both awesome. I guess I'll say Ursaring, though. Next to nothing survives Facade with STAB, Guts, Base 130 Attack and Choice Band. Even an Aggron would be in pain after a powerful Attack like that.

Donphan owns as well. I used to have one named Ivory on my Test Team on NB, and it was an excellent battler. Ursaring is much more neglected, though.

Ursaring was on my very first GSC team, so I have to choose him for sentimental value. In RSE, he's even better, especially in Double Battles with a pokemon what can afflict him with a status condition. With Guts and Facade, he's an incredible sweeper.

I prefer Donphan. I have used Donphan in my final team against Red in Silver, and with powerful attacks like Earthquake and Take Down, a high HP, Attack and Defense point count, Donphan is truly superior to Ursaring.

I prefer Donphan, as his great defense has bailed me out many a time.
 
I love both equally... or almost.

I'll go with Donphan. It's very good in battles, and have never used Ursaring seriously. I ought to someday, though...

Donphan, of course. Because its normal and ground attacks can defeat any Fire Pokemons.

Nah man, Usaring is honestly better to me SwordsDance to actually setup a STAB Return hurts Slowbro and walls like a Nigger. SD + Focuspunch isn't very liked by Skarm when it sends you out and Earthquakes makes Aggron and Steelix think twice.While Donphan just dies to bulky water that switches in to prediction. The Pedo Bear seriosly has no real counter, only things Hitmonlee that outspeed and OHKO are counters but if it uses Return on the switch Lee dies right there, and this nig can put up a fight to Metagross(non CB) this thing has Defences that will annoy you and really scares away most special threats. Guts makes this foo golden switching into status and doesn't care about para since its slow already and OHKOs alot of ****. Ursaring all the way for me..

Donphan, definitely. I've got one I use in the battle Frontier. and she can 2HKO Registeel. Besides, she helped me get my Silver Bravery Symbol.

Lots of Pokemon in the Above-UU enviroment can 2HKO Registeel, it's one of the worst legendaries ever. But yeah, Donphan is very good. It's physical stats are awesome, and it has a great movepool to back them up.

Donphan because he is one of my favorite pokemon and has been ever since I saw him in the first Pokemon movie.
