Hmmm...good question.
Career-wise, at Dodger Stadium for Juan Marichal:
14-11, 2.36 ERA, 0.981 WHIP in 29 starts.
And Candlestick:
122-58, 2.67 ERA
Sandy Koufax at Dodger Stadium:
57-15, 1.37 ERA in 85 starts.
And Candlestick:
7-7, 3.58 ERA in 16 starts
So, what does that tell us? Not a whole heckuva lot.
For 1962-66, I'd say Koufax was better, but the difference was small. The one thing Juan did than Koufax - he had seasons where he was actually better on the road than at home (like 1965).
