Queen's Gambit vs Ruy Lopez

Is it the Queen's Gambit or is it Ruy Lopez. Which is better? Cause, when I searched "strongest opening for white" , this is what I got. Queen's Gambit - 40% white wins , Ruy Lopez - 40% white wins. If you want proof, just search 'strongest opening for white' in Google. What do you guys think?
Well, Chorizo-Pizza for Ruy Lopez and Venison Burger for Queens gambit? ;-)
The main problem is: You can#t choose the Ruy Lopez or the Queens gambit without the consent of your opponent. Black has plenty of choices to avoid both. If you like the Ruy Lopez and don't find something that pleases you against the sicilian, then you can't even play e4...
Queen's gambit is left brain. Ruy Lopez is right brain. Ruy lopez is always greater because it is real art.
