It's weird to be in a thread where so many people are wrong. Imagine voting for crusher over polaski :P
Far more people are familiar with Crusher than Pulaski. TNG doesn't really get consistently good until season 2, so many people skip her episodes. Even if people do watch her episodes, Crusher simply has far more screentime and is remembered as "the TNG doctor", whereas people tend to forget about Pulaski.
I've only seen three seasons so far, but with that experience I prefer Pulaski. She's like McCoy, but with more edge to her, where as Crusher is less interesting and I don't care for her personal connections to Wesley (whom I also don't like) and Picard.
Now you see it. Now you don't.
But was where Dalaran?
Beverly Crusher is gorgeous so... I choose boobs!
Pulaski is the worst doctor of any of the series. They wanted her to be saltier like McCoy but all she ever did was pick on Data and he was like a helpless innocent child so it just made her look like a bully. McCoy took on Spock and Spock could give it as good as he got it.

Paulaski is my choice. Better doctor? Well, I don't know, but I like the actor a lot better. I don't think I like the Crusher character much either, and I have disagreed with her actions many times, especially in the episode where Worf breaks his back, and wants to commit suicide. I think she whines too much, she's not funny, and there are little things I feel is wrong, like her talking about her wet dreams with Troi. Paulaski is , if I remember correctly, acting much more professional and calm, but not robotic or asocial.
Mother pus bucket!
Both were kinda crappy compared to other trek doctors imo, just generally worse writing/acting. If I had to pick between them though I'd say Crusher. Pulaski's whole "anti data and tech" attitude was so arbitrary and silly and was forced in to create some artificial (hah) conflict between crew members.

Haters gonna hate
Holo Docs 1 scene in First Contact was better than anything with Crusher or Pulaski
I didn't know Gates McFadden was a trans...
Seriously, I would say it's hard to decide which is the best, since Pulaski was there for only a season. I believe they wanted to give a McCoy to this show's Spock, Data. Like McCoy, she hated transporters. But it didn't quite work. She seemed more dynamic and direct than Crusher and it would have been interesting to see how the character would have evolved. Howver, I can't say she was better than Crusher. Anyway, let's say that the ship's doctor didn't have the same importance in TNG than TOS. McCoy was a main character of the show, being the triad Kirk-Spock-McCoy.

Diana Muldaur was quite a looker in her youth:
"Je vous répondrai par la bouche de mes canons!"
Pulaski was just a dick the entire time. Nothing likable about her.
Crusher was a soccer mom but at least she was more interesting.
Obviously they're still both the bottom two in the history of Star Trek doctors (The Doctor being top, of course).
