I think both albums have their own merits. The self-titled is way more consistent and is loaded with the trademark melodies that made Ensiferum so well-liked in the metal community. On the other hand, Iron has some of the band's strongest and weakest material (pre-Victory Songs, anyway). Iron's intro track is one of the most interesting pieces Ensiferum ever composed, and the title track was the perfect lead-off track that lays waste to "Hero in a Dream." Similarly, "LAI LAI HEI" is one of Ensiferum's strongest tracks that isn't really equalled on the self-titled album (at least, in my opinion). The lowpoints of Iron come with some of the material that comes between these fantastic bookends.

I'd go with Iron as well, but it's really unnecessary to draw comparisons when they're both obviously albums of a very high calibre.
