If you were to push me I would say the Budesliga because it encourages fans with realistic ticket prices, you can watch Bayern for around 200 Euros per season for instance.
Budesliga is a better all round spectacle for affordability, financial sustainability and outright quality (proven by the last Champions League final)
I totally agree with that but that's not for entertainment purposes per se. I wish the football in England was cheaper to watch but it's not. The Germans have definately got it right for the fans.
In effect the best league is the most average then? This season the Premier League is close because Man United are shit, Man City have bought half a new squad at levels no one else can work to and Chelsea have the Special One back and Abramovich's money. Liverpool and Arsenal are possibly the only sustainable models at the top right now. But each one keeps tripping over against teams like Southampton and Swansea?!? This is the best league? Really?
Yes. For that reason. You don't see Espanyol or Betis going to the Bernabeau or Nou Camp and get a win. There's only City this season that look "invincible" at home. Man U have lost 4 home games. Arsenal lost to Villa (even we can beat villa haha). There are so many unknowns in the premiership that make it so exciting.
I would suggest that the reason for Spain having the highest golden boot totals is because it has the two best players in the world combined with the fact that as you state Barca and Real are so far ahead of the rest. As for it only being a two horse race, you are only as good as your last season as it were.......

I knew you would point out A. Madrid were 2nd that's why if you look at my original post it says "is vast... or has been vast over the last few years". A. Madrid are having a fine season and the capture of David Villa for less than £2m (i think?!?) is unbelievable.
