Are you asking which test is easier to get a higher percentile rank in? I don't see how variation in difficulty in terms of the test material is very important since what matters is the rank relative to the test taking population. Does the GRE have the dumbest test taking population? Not in the quantitative section. I see 100s of PhD apps every year and a few have both GRE and GMAT scores. I can't remember when a student's GRE quantitative score was a better percentile rank than their GMAT quantitative score.

On the other hand, I would guess that its easier to get a better percentile rank on the verbal GRE sections than "professional" graduate exams because the number of non-native English speakers is probably higher.
