I personally am a fan of the Mamiya, but your question is too subjective for an answer. You see, if you store your camera, you leave a roll of film through each. Or see if there is a place of camera location nearby, where you can use any camera for a long time.
Then you can answer: What is "feels" more natural in your hands? That his control over, we were hopefully more intuitive? Who is easier to concentrate, with the best balance?
The material is intended to facilitate the comparison resolution lens lines / mm, the cost of lenses and accessories, the things on the availability of data, etc., are subjective, but that's the difference between a camera before you make love, and love .
If you plan to work in photography and the need for accurate color representation, then it is Mamiya. Zeiss is a good name, but Uncle Carl is no longer involved with Mr. Leitz is no longer with the Leica cameras.
I have a friend who tried the lens at the Center for Disease Control works and all the chromatic aberrations Lens - Mamiya wins every time and even won a long series of Mamiya 330 lenses missing.
Mamiya is heavy. Mamiya is difficult to hold hands. Mamiya me not to make more noise than any other camera, and certainly not once the shutter in the body of the lens locked and everyone has their own trigger system.
When you do a job in photography, you use a tripod anyway. I climbed several peaks in the Appalachian South with a Mamiya RB67, 5 lenses, accessories, and a Manfrotto tripod and I'm paralyzed.
I think if you can check the things you find that Hassy are manufactured in Japan, probably by Fuji.
The Mamiya is cheaper and accessories. No reported problems with some devices.
The Hasselblad is probably a higher quality (and cost), but it is less flexible.
You can scan the medium format Photo.Net forums for more details:

I am an old user from Hasselblad, Mamiya RZ67, although I in the past. My personal choice to go with a Hasselblad, is the versatility in terms of working well in both environments and outdoor studio. RZ67 cameras are great, but if you take pictures of the hand when you have big hands, may be slightly awkward, a much better alternative would be the Pentax 67th I personally believe that if the 6x7 format because of the additional property in comparison with the 6x6 format of love and that you do not mind the size of the RZ67, why not a large format camera. Not sure if you know that you can be very simple 6x7, 6x9 and 6x12 film back for systems with large format cameras graflok Universal, and especially in large format and 4x5, you can take 5x7, etc.. When you think about it, is a large format camera a much better value compared to most systems of medium-format camera, because that is the most versatile for many different formats to make and has the ability to make changes and gradients to view, etc. to control. While the cameras like HasselbladUnfortunately, you have no perspective control lens (and if) they are the same as a lung transplant costs, which are crucial when photographing architecture or products.
For portraits, but I must say I like the Hasselblad system. The lens quality in terms of resolution and color saturation are suberb. In addition, the square format simply do not believe you if you want to shoot a portrait or landscape mode, and can therefore not the composition of the frame.
Even if you use a Hasselblad. I suggest KEH.com .. Buy a camera at this point the whole time, my most recent acquisition is a 503CW and the quality and price are unmatched in the market. Keh also a good place to get a good set of large format cameras, you also find.
I will not have a personal experience with a Hasselblad, Mamiya RB67, but used for many years. Although I loved my RB, the two problems, which reached the weight and noise. In order to film for some time, portraits of marriage, that is, it seems necessary to have the budget on a tripod, because of their weight. I also received complaints from some ministers, was diverted kalunk "strong" shutter sound, even when I turned from the balcony. In the mouth, I loved the 6x7 negative. If you do retouching negatives instead of digital imaging, it is much easier to work.
Good luck,
January
PS Over the years I have B & H are reliable and have good prices. Vendors in Schiller's in St. Louis, MO, are always very helpful and knowledgeable, but they have the best prices. They discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each device on the type of photography you want.
Hasselblad has pictures of the moon, as they sat here for Mamiya.
