Edward Green, but both are marvelous. John Lobb's styles are a bit more modern, unusual, interesting finishes on the leather; but Green seems more precise, better shaped lasts, classic British styles but with some character.

I like them both for different reasons:
I love the 888 EG last, and overall EG produces a very professional looking high-end shoe.
I love JLP shoes in general because of the their ability to try different design styles and make them look amazing.
If I had to choose between the two I would have to give a slight preference to JLP.
Ferragamo Tramezza's would be a distant 15th or so in my opinion.
I personally would rank Berluti 3rd for style and quality reasons. Other than Berluti, I would say the other 5 or 6 top quality brands are UK based, then other areas of Europe. A short stop in the US for Alden and AE, then back to Europe as a whole.
I personally would put Alden and AE above Ferragamo Tramezza's for quality of construction and materials.

EG = Dark Oak - 888 Last (sex on the feet).
I don't own any Lobb's, though contemplating the 'Vale'.
Tramezza's - I own one pair and they are nothing special.
