Since you are not bringing up Granite in the question, I just guess you want the best for most situations (not the ultimate tanking tank) and although I would put my money on a well built Invuln tank, it would be much easier to "feel" stronger with Willpower in most situations due to the set having fewer holes.
For the most part, most people asking this question end up feeling more satisfied playing Willpower. It's not "strongest" but its friendlier.
Edit to add: its VERY hard to mess up a willpower build.
Disclaimer: this assumes no big changes have come in the last year to either set and does not take into account Incarnate additions.
They're close. Basically in terms of out of the box, average damage sustainability across all damage types, I think willpower pips invuln iirc but my personal preference is Invuln. Overall Invuln is less reliant on accuracy checks when it comes to keeping aggro. Its a more competent aggro magnet. You can IO set an Invuln good and then still have high risk maneuvers that I wouldn't be so eager to put a Willpower through.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Depends on the budget. Invuln is better on the cheap because of how much easier it is to softcap s/l/e/n, but if you can afford to soft cap those on a wp, I think WP would pull ahead due to the higher regen.
Okay, how's this for deja vu?

I note that the last thread on that list contains this exact question -- "Also is willpower better than invul.?" and that it was posted by...let's see...you.
AND the reply contains another list of previous threads on this topic...posted by...well, me.
