Seeing as how the raid at Onigashima is close to it's climax I think it's fair to compare the two parts of the story to one another now.
In terms of Marineford (chapters 550-580) we got the first major war arc in the series and to this day it has lasting consequences in the world of the series. It also displayed a lot of great characters like the admirals, commanders, Yonko,etc.
As for the raid at Onigashima (chapters 974-1039+) we got Roofpiece in which we saw the Supernova go up against the Yonko aswell as the strawhats go up against Yonko commanders like Queen and King. We also got long awaited plot points like the Minks (mainly Inu and Neku) going Sulong and the Return of Marco.
So by comparison, which is better?
I'd say Marineford had much more hype and a proper build-up but it did somewhat lack in terms of fights (not action). At Onigashima Oda did actually give us proper 1v1s that lasted for a couple of chapters.
