I always loved Sandman, and he gets tons of points for being one of Spidey's original foes from the old school era. He also gets style points for that sharp sweater.
Clayface is a bit more intimidating, I think. There's something about being beaten to death by clay that seems scarier than sand.
As for them actually having a fight, I think it's enough of an even match to render that aspect irrelevant to me. Pretty much perfectly matched.
I really think I'm more into Clayface. It's definitely because of those animated series episodes. I guess maybe that shouldn't count in the comic book clash, but I can't really seperate it from the character.

yeah the batman animated series was amazing for turning shithouse villains into credible ones.
i always got the feeling that clayface would be more... solid than sandman. like, getting hit with a crapload of sand doesn't seem like it would hurt as much as being hit with solid clay. but sandman seems to still punch holes through buildings without too much trouble and maintains form so obviously he can super-compress the sand somehow into an essentially solid object.
however, sandman
is vulnerable to water. even on the animated series, he doesn't like going through the sewers because it turns his legs to mud. clayface already
is mud, and has the control over his form that sandman possesses over his in his dry form, and for that reason, i'm gonna say it gives him the edge. all other things being equal it's a fairly tight battle, but if a rainstorm started up in the middle of it, things would go to pieces pretty quickly for marko.
winner: clayface.
