Better overall player, Piazza.

Better hitter, Piazza.

Better fielder, either not that great but since Canseco was so lousy, edge to Piazza.

About the only area that Canseco has the edge is in power. But I'll take Piazza's power along with his average any day over a free swinging roid freak.

I may be biased.

Giambi was on steroids so all of his stats have asterisks.

The fact that Piazza compiled much of those stats while playing the most demanding defensive position on the field makes it not close.

This isn't even a debate when you take positional adjustments into account.
