Hear me out: While I don’t know about chocolate candies and the like, all chocilate baking recipies I’ve ever used call for vanilla. I’ve accidentally forgotten the vanilla before and the resulting flavor profile was really flat, bland, and rather unenjoyable.
Vanilla is an incredibly important base flavor for a lot of things, and helps balance out cacao. For that reason alone I’d say vanilla is objectively better because even chocolate wouldn’t really chocolate in a lot of - if not all - circumstances without it.

Context and quality is key

If the ice cream is cheap and shitty, neither flavor will be good. But honestly I like vanilla and chocolate together. They’re nice complimentary flavors.

well, since taste is subjective and you’re looking for an objective measure, I’m just going to judge on other grounds! I suspect that the vanilla industry is less bad for the environment and has a better track record with labor violations, so vanilla is better.
Now, I didn’t research that first, and I could definitely be wrong… but at least it’s something one can actually be wrong about.

I dislike drinking/eating vanilla on it’s own. I like drinking/eating chocolate.

I don’t know why this was downvoted so much. It’s an honest question. But anyways, I’ll go for chocolate because chocolate can go with mint.

vanilla is a lot more versatile in my day to day life. Of the two id say chocolate would be less jarring if it disappeared from my life.

I’m gonna go chocolate. Certain things I prefer vanilla though. Like vanilla fudge is the shit. But ice cream I’m going chocolate.

I like both. I can’t decide on one
