Yahoo lists the ttm P/E for RDS at just below 12, while for BHP it is 48. Is that right? If so, then I'd look carefully at BHP's earnings to see whether that number is likely just transient. If it is not, then RDS would seem to be the better value.
Also, what to buy depends somewhat on your other portfolio needs. If you are already heavily exposed to oil, you might lean towards BHP for a little diversification into other commodities.
