Bonds 1989-2000: 73.3 WAA, 95.9 WAR, 960 RAR
Griff 1989-2000: 51.6 WAA, 76.2 WAR, 793 RAR
Not really all that close. Bonds hit in much tougher ballparks (people forget how advantageous the Kingdome was, esp. to LHB), was the better base stealer, walked far far more while striking out just as much as Jr, was a better gap hitter, and hit into fewer double plays.
Griffey's edge was in home runs and it's worth noting that Jr only topped a .400 OBP twice in that span and never even topped 100 walks.
