It varies from genre to genre. And of course, the quality of the material you are using to compare. For example, I have found that manga that are released to take advantage of a successful anime series would not be that good in comparison. There are exceptions to this rule -> for example, the Evangelion manga is quite excellent. However, the Stellvia manga (urgh, the drawing style! urg!) that I picked up recently was mediocre at best.
Then there are anime series which are released while the manga is still ongoing. Some manage to rise above themselves while others just plain rot away in the throes of episodic stories and filler material. Disappointing.
