Right now one can firmly say that (Z)Jaedong surpasses (Z)sAviOr in all possible meanings:

Elo Peak:
(Z)Jaedong (2365) > (Z)sAviOr (2321)
Elo Peak vs Terrans:
(Z)Jaedong (2241) > (Z)sAviOr (2226)
Elo Peak vs Zergs:
(Z)Jaedong (2341) > (Z)sAviOr (2218)
Elo Peak vs Protosses:
(Z)Jaedong (2299) > (Z)sAviOr (2274)

KeSPA Peak:
(Z)Jaedong (3459.3) > (Z)sAviOr (2129.3)
Top-1 KeSPA:
(Z)Jaedong (4+11 months) > (Z)sAviOr (1+8 months)
Race Top-1 KeSPA:
(Z)Jaedong (28 months) > (Z)sAviOr (14 months)
Top-30 KeSPA:
(Z)Jaedong (41 months and he is still here) > (Z)sAviOr (41 months)

Gold medals in OSL and MSL:
(Z)Jaedong (5) > (Z)sAviOr (4)
Gold medals in other events:
(Z)Jaedong (3 + WCG GF) > (Z)sAviOr (2)

The longest winning streak:
(Z)Jaedong (13) > (Z)sAviOr (9)
The longest winning streak in ZvT:
(Z)Jaedong (12) > (Z)sAviOr (7)
The longest winning streak in ZvZ:
(Z)Jaedong (10) > (Z)sAviOr (5)
The longest winning streak in ZvP:
(Z)Jaedong (15) > (Z)sAviOr (11)

A couple of months ago Savior had better Elo Peak vs Protosses, better winning streak in ZvP and he was longer at Top-30 KeSPA, but Jaedong has broken these records

Upd (thanks to NeoOmega):
This is still one meaning in which Savior >>> Jaedong
Difference between First and Last Medal
(Z)sAviOr (14 months 25 days, 4 Golds 2 Silvers) > (Z)Jaedong (25 monts 1 day, 5 Golds 1 Silver)

Yay three more ">" threads to concern us about! Though Jaedong is pretty awesome, I have no right to say anything about this because I wasn't present during when sAviOr owned.

Jaedong has longevity, but Savior is THE BONJWA.

Jaedong has never been as scary as Savior was. He is more successful though, as I think he has more titles and, amusingly, has made more money and therefore defines being more successful at his job.

It is not about those statistics, it is about what each player has given to competitive Starcraft.

Statistics say that Jaedong is more scary than Savior was. Personal impressions of scariness are inadequate

Savior demolished everybody back in his time (except for Chojja?) but with Jaedong it isn't always certain that he'll win. I think that's a key difference here...

You really think being a BONJWA is about statistics?

Nope. Savior didn't demolish everybody back in his time: his statistics say otherwise. He was just better advertised.

What do you think it is about? To have a better advertisement?

We can't really compare but for sure, if Jaedong is where he is now, it's because some bonjwa before him did what nobody did before. To bring zerg to a new level. You know sAviOr is to zerg what Boxer is to Terran. Players such as NaDa, oov, Flash, Jaedong just continued the jobs these one started.

I'm suspecting that this is a borderline troll thread but anyway --

It's about dominance, not overall titles or even skill level. Savior dominated in a way Jaedong never did. He had a 70% win rate over an eighteen month period and won more titles in a shorter span of time. He had an aura about him that JD never had.

Not to mention that he had a much greater influence on the game -- he's basically the Zerg oov, the player who set the standards that would allow Zergs to actually put up a consistent fight against Terrans over the long haul. Jaedong could be considered the ZvZ bonjwa, and he popularized Luxury's neo-Sauron, but his overall influence isn't comparable. At best, you could say that he's the Zerg Nada, with his strength being his monstrous mechanics, which also explains his longevity.

So if we're talking about absolute skill level, you'd be right, but it's pretty meaningless.
