Better looker: subjective, I liked Karisma more, but I can see why people would like Kareena more.
Better dancer: Karisma by far, even Bebo would agree to that, Karisma worked very hard to match up to the likes of Govinda and Madhuri
Better actor: Kareena, because she is more talented - even Karisma feels that she believes Kareena is a better actress than her.
The differences between Karisma and Kareena are primarily because of Karisma's early struggles - she worked hard to get better, and it shows - Karisma's growth from Prem Qaidi to Zubeida is sheer hard work. Also Karisma went very OTT (Raja Hindustani etc) and even till Fiza and Zubeida she used to ham a lot.
Whereas while Kareena was very OTT in earlier movies like Yaadein, MPKDH, she can also be subtle in Udta Punjab quite easily - a very switch-on-and-off kind of natural actress.
Kareena mentioned that Karisma ratta maaro's dialogues, writing them out again and again, while Bebo reads the dialogues once and gives a near-perfect take the first time itself.
My personal favourite is Karisma (probably 90s nostalgia), but Kareena is no doubt a very talented actress, its a shame she didn't use her full potential really.
