I like both of em. Since Tolkien basically set the standard for almost every modern fantasy novel ever written, I have to side with LOTR.

I have to say Lord of The Rings U_U Read the books and watched the movies, including the extend versions U_U
And I have to say, they are some of the greatest movies I have seen and most awesome books I have read.

LoTR, by soooo much.
I enjoyed the Inheritance books somewhat, but it was way to cliche' fantasy, I didn't see anything from him that was really different from most fantasy books, whereas in the LoTR tolkin literally makes his own universe, from language, to geography, to history, whereas Paloni does do this, but not nearly as well, and his are kinda a rip off of tolkin's if you ask me.
Plus a lot of the inheritance was simply unwonted, I remember a full 30+ page chapter where the dwarf king is explaining this rock he is forming to eragon, and thats it, no more reference to it, just a waste of thirty pages. It seemed like those books could've been written in 300-400 pages and said the same story.
