Well, IMO, in terms of pure planning and intelligence, Joker is greater, he did what he did without great resources.
That doesn't prove the Joker is a better strategist. They both had elaborate schemes that were foiled, soley by Batman. Personally, i believe Ghul's was more intricately planned and executed. The Joker's genius relied on luck. It was almost as though he was making it up as he went along. This opinion, however, can be argued forever. What i'm really trying to argue is that the Joker is not a better strategist just because he executed his plan with less resources. Resources may influence an intelligent plan but they do not inspire intelligence.
