Who do you rate as the greater player?

Maguire: 6 ranking titles which includes the UK and the Tour Championship.

Allen: 5 ranking titles + Masters. Top16 player since 2008/2009

H2H (main tournaments): 4:3 Allen

I voted Allen just because he has been a more consistent player in the last 10 years compared to Maguire.
Allen I feel does have more ranking titles up his sleeve in my opinion.

Allen, on the grounds that I find it hard to care at all about Maguire. He extinguished his own fire.

Definitely Allen, he's a lot more consistent in his performances, he rarely receives drubbings and he beat the lesser players a lot more often than Maguire

I must say I like Maguire and enjoyed the final between these two a few months ago.

However I voted for Allen. I think he may not always been better than Maguire over the years. But at the moment he strikes me as more liable to beat the top elite, more likely to win something like the Masters or the UK. I doubt either of them will be world champion though.

Maguire

Allen lacks penetration
