Rock Slide. I've been leveling up a Rhyperior lately, and it seemks to work better for me because Stone Edge has terrible accuracy.

Stone Edge, it has a 33% higher chance to KO stuff.

Unless it's on Darmanitan, I almost always go with Stone Edge.

Stone Edge. It has great power, high critical hit rate, and when paired with any slight boost in battle, it's perfectly fine.

Usually which move I choose depends on whether a Pokemon can know stone edge or not, and what I feel like teaching a Pokemon.
Usually it's Stone Edge that I prefer to teach just because of a high-critical hit ratio and its higher power.

I prefer Rock Slide. Stone Edge is significantly more powerful, but even though it's 80% accurate it feels more like 70%. Statistically, Stone Edge does miss twice as often as Rock Slide, which in turn misses twice as often as moves like Ice Beam. Back when I played a little competitive I used Breloom, and the stuff he was hitting with the rock move he needed to hit or it would KO him. Stone Edge let me down too often.

I personally like rock slide better, because it hits more that one pokemon in double battles, has more PP, and higher accuracy, even though stone edge is a stronger move and it has a high crit. rate

Stone Edge in Singles, Rock Slide in Doubles.

Rock slide is more reliable, and therefore, better. Stone Edge might be more useful in group battles, though, I guess.
100 power and 80 accuracy on a 5-PP move is mediocre at best, even with the boosted crit rate. Also Rock Slide's 30% chance of flinch means that, if the chips were just down that bad, it'd be a better choice than Stone Edge in a case where the opponent defends against rock.
That's what I go by.

It's kind of a toss up. Rockslide has better accuracy and more PP. It also hits multiple enemies if I'm not mistaken.
for Sheer power Stone Edge Rocks (no pun intended)
If a rock type I go with Rock Slide cause of STAB. If countering a weakness, (Torterra for Example,) I go with Stone Edge.

I actually prefer Rock Slide because it just seems more reliable and I am usually fighting in double battles for training.
I use Stone Edge over Rock Slide. More power obviously.
