Why do you think esv is a better buy?
MDCO has a lower debt to capital ratio, lower price to book ratio, and a higher projected growth rate based on first call estimates.
Plus, esv's ttm pe is only slightly lower than mdco's.

PS I agree that esv is a very good buy, but I don't think it's better than mdco.

Here's the earnings numbers:
98 99 Long-term
esv 2.64 59% 3.34 27% 27%
mdco 1.73 53% 2.85 65% 46%

Long-term Debt to Captial
esv 27%
mdco 4%

So, actually for this year, esv's projected growth is slightly higher, but for next year mdco is far higher. Their ttm pe's and 1 year forward pe's are about the same. Are there other reasons why you favor esv?
