Hmm...gonna need some help remembering some good stuff Forge made...I remember he made a gun to take down Hulk...I dont know if he actually made a time machine or just operated them? Not really a fair comparison though...Reed has his own comic and has been inventing something crazy every issue since 1961.
Forge made an inhibiter devise that cut off Prof.X's telepathy. And les not forget the famous gun that take away mutant powers. But you are right Wynndar. Reed has been in way more comics to invent things. Its not really much of a comparison considering all of Reed's appearances.

Forge does have the advantage of having the "invent anything gene" but I think Reed would be better overall because he actually knows the how? behind the devices.

I look at it this way:
If the contest was - figure out a way to beat Silver Surfer I have odds on Reed over Forge. Reed is a master planner and versed in all areas of science. Forge can't make that claim (though he's a pretty good magician).
If the contest was - build a gamma absorbing ray gun, I definitely think Forge takes it first.
Now imagine Forge, Reed and Magneto mindlinked through Xavier. Anything Reed thinks of, Forge can blueprint and Magneto can build in seconds....
I have to go with Forge. His power is to create any machine that he can think of. I know if I had that ability I would make another machine that makes me have other powers as well. What's to stop him from making a machine that gives him celestial like powers?
Yeah Reed is great and all, but Forge's power is to do it.
anything he wants is hyperbole. The kinds of stuff he builds is still one or two tiers below Reed/Doom type tech. Like I said. Forge hasnt been in many comics and only has a handful of impressive inventions. Reed literally comes up with something more advanced in every issue...this honestly isnt close.

On paper, Forge is better for actually building a device but Reed has so many other applications. Say you wanted to rig a homing device to work backwards or gut some advanced technology or have self inflating basketballs then all signs point to Reed.

Reed: "I watched the creation of the universe with the assended being that sent the cosmic rays that created the F4 (actually happened last issue)...how about you?"
Forge: "Oh I made device that looks like a backpack but it actually takes away Gambit's creole accent."
Reed: "Oh...the F4 have nanotechnology that already does that...but ur back pack thing is neat."
