In the past I would choose an M car over an AMG.
Merc has propelled themselves forward with their black series. No sissy Merc compromise in these cars.
The line is a little less clear, so I would choose model to model and not division to division.

If speaking strictly performance I think AMG has surpassed M. Think of all the non black series AMG models and their crazy performances. Take the SL 65 AMG. 600+ hp and over 700 lb-ft torque is insane
7-8 years ago I'd say M but not anymore

AMG always posts some really good numbers on paper, but when it comes to tracking the vehicles, M usually wins or is the more "enjoyable" of the two.
However, more recently, the black series has come to the table offering a lot more, upping the ante and evening things out quite a bit more. That being said, I'm still partial to the M with their 6-speed offerings.
Also, getting a black series AMG is quite a bit more expensive than an "equivalent" class/model M-series. Given aftermarket upgrades and overall aftermarket support of the M over AMG models, I'll tip the hat to the M.
