I believe the ring was more powerful, and the reason is not because of sheer power, but something more subtle, but ultimately important.
Sauron desired the ring, so much so, that this was his weakness. The ring did desire to be returned to it's master, but did not go out of it's way to try to return. If someone of equal power to that of Sauron's wore the ring, he would become the greater being.
This tells me that Sauron was less powerful, his lust over the ring. I guess what I'm saying is, it's a psychological thing.
