Without a doubt, Emerald. Ruby Weapon I actually beat on my first try (although I'd read a lot about it first) and it was with Cloud solo on level 65. Here is a pretty easy strategy for beating him:

Things you need:

Mystile (found in Midgar at the end of Disc 2)
Speed Shoes (you can get them chocobo racing)
Knights of the Round
HP Absorb
W-Summon
Mime

That's pretty much it. Equip the mystile, the sprint shoes, and make sure HP Absorb and KotR are paired. Kill off the two party members you don't want to use before the battle, and enter. At the beginning of the battle, cast W-Summon, the first one on Ruby's tentacles and the second one on Ruby itself. The first KotR casting will cause Ruby to bring up his tentacles so you can attack him, and the second one will hit (I only had KotR on Level 2, so each casting did about 80,000 damage). After you're done, Ruby will either cast Ultima or put his tentacles back in the ground. His casting of Ultima actually missed me all three times he did (thank you, mystile), but even if it hits, you're getting healed for 8500 each time you summon KotR, so it isn't too much of an issue. Just keep using mime every turn (make sure you don't have something like counter attack equipped to nullify the mime) and he will go down in about 10 castings or so.

Also, make sure you either have 9999 HP or HP Up materia to get you there.

oh ruby by far with those annoying spike-whip thingies the insane defense and high health/powerful attacks I still find him to be a nuisance and my party is level 90+

You could always have only 2 pieces of materia equipped and be lucky for him to do aire tam storm at 9999 hp.

Emerald may not be "stronger" than Ruby, but I definitely found it more challenging. If you know what you are doing, you can beat Ruby pretty easily with just one character. That's not too intimidating.

If you were to go in to battle without any prior knowledge or preparation, I still say Emerald is more challenging (but not necessarily stronger) than Ruby. Even if you managed to stand on equal ground (or water I suppose ) with Emerald, the 20 minute timer would toast a beginner considering they would have no idea how to bypass it.

Really, they are both pretty pathetic if you know what you are doing.

They're both weak as hell so niether

I've concocted un-loseable battle strategies for both... but Ruby takes longer to kill, so I'll say he's stronger.

Depends.

Ruby Weapon tests your ability to make good materia combinations. If you set up right, you can cast KotR and then just come back in 20 minutes.

Emerald Weapon is more of a battle. You need to be leveled up properly and out muscle him.
