I honestly don't believe in either of them.. therefore I don't believe it's a competition between them. I believe that if god were real, that he is a jerk and he DOES compete with satan. just look at the story of job. seriously, satan made a bet with god that job would forsake god if there was some trouble in his life. god knew that job wouldn't renounce him.. but he let satan make his life a living hell anyway. what kind of caring god does something to "test" you, when he knows that you'll pass anyway, but he does the test anyway to make your life miserable?
