I say Vulcan's are zaidi logical. I base this entirely on Brent Spiner's performance as Data. If wewe watch him closely, Data is very eager to be human and because of this he is willing to make himself look foolish and illogical on many occasions. So based on behavior, Vulcan's act way zaidi logical.
Although Data's positronic brain is designed to imitate a human brain, throughout the series he is shown to struggle with his inability to experience emotions. Although he demonstrates creativity through improvisation, original ideas and ingenuity, most of his behaviors seem strictly rational.
Vulcan logical thinking is a learned trait, requiring social practices and personal effort to subdue their very strong natural emotions. Spock is only half Vulcan, and although he has adopted their way of life he does experience conflict between his ideal logical state and lapses of irrational behavior.
Thus, Data is a logical being attempting to overcome a purely logic-based perception, and Spock is an emotional and feeling being continually making a conscious effort to operate according to logical principles. Spock is logical-like, Data is logical with aspirations to be otherwise.

I really upendo how wewe explained your thoughts. Really well thought out and said. I agree about Data. He might try to be purposly goofy au so, that doesn't mean he won't put it aside when needed, which he's proven he'll do.
Although Spock and Data have not gone head to head, I do know that when Picard wanted to argue with some Vulcan staff in the episode "Sarek" he sent Data to do it for him after his own attempt failed and Data succeded. Yes Data can out logic Vulcans. I'm thinking (pre emotion chip Data) could beat Spock after a long battle.
I was once a Spocky, I lived in a hat. But I never saw the screen, the Captain was too fat! I was not yet 3 years dead, but they screwed me up! Took me out of Dr. Bones, put me in a cup.
Go onto Youtube and tafuta the vulcan song, you'll get it.
I think that Spock is the zaidi logical one because of his Vulcan upbringing. Even though he is half-human the Vulcan half seems to be the most promanent. Data tries to behave like a human and that makes him a little less logical.
