I think Fulci is more the Italian H.G Lewis. I've found Fulci's films have a better pace than Argento's and a lot of Dario's characters are badly executed because of the poor acting. Fulci's films have some terrible acting don't get me wrong but the gore is the payoff and his films have a creeper doomy atomosphere.
But yeh I'm a total splatter freak so I'm biased :)
