Hence the suggestion to the OP to USE THE SEARCH FEATURE.
You see the dead horse laying here, yes? It's someone else's turn now.

Yeah, there are some stories about these two. But anyway it depends on how you want to use your hosting service.
I can't divide these two, but if I were you, I'd go for 1and1.

One of my bad experiences from 1and1 was completely ridiculous. I wanted to transfer a domain from 1and1 to GoDaddy, so I did the obvious thing. I requested a domain transfer(seems proper?). I had emailed 1and1 as instructed to so they could approve the transfer. Not only did they not let me transfer the domain, but even after several emails they would not respond to me. Huge disappointment to me.

I use both.
It depends if you are talking about domain registration or hosting.
But, I would give GoDaddy the nod for both.
1and1 is more expensive, less responsive, and their control panel is harder to use.
Yet, 1and1 hosting seems stable enough.
I would've bought more domains and hosting from 1and1, but their control panel is so underpowered and unresponsive, it pushed me back to GoDaddy and other registrars.

godaddy hosting sucks
Unless the only thing you ever want to use on your site is straight html
It takes 24 hours to get any response to an inquiry and often the answer is wrong or incomplete.

I have 2 clients that have sites hosted on GoDaddy...still. For at least 6 months now. It is false economy on their part because they have to pay me extra to communicate - slowly - with GoDaddy plus try all these contortions to try and get things - like flash, php apps etc. to work.
You can imagine how long it takes to resolve an issue when they send out a reply only every 24 hours. It can take 2 weeks to get a straight answer simply because the first answers they send are canned (prescripted cut and paste) and often are not relevant to the question you asked. So you need to ask again and wait another 24 hours and hope that they actually read your question and have an answer and that the answer they sent is correct which often it is not or is, again, an answer but not to the one you asked and on and on and on...
Godaddy is fine for domain registration but not for hosting. Sometimes things on servers go whacky and having to wait 24 hours for a response to an inquiry is simply unacceptable.

What, is it FUD to point out the obvious that neither GoDaddy or 1and1 have great reputations? Is it false to say that we tend to see more bad reviews about them than good ones?
Metaphors aren't FUD unless they are predicated on bad data. The metaphor of comparing a bad car with a host that has predominantly bad reviews is fine. The car may still get you where you want to go, but there's still a good chance you'll have a bad experience.
I'm glad the car got you to where you wanted to go, and I'm glad for your life-changing experience with them, but just because others don't share in your enthusiasm doesn't mean they're spreading FUD.
