Pitting ASX mining shares against ASX bank stocks on the subject of dividends is like asking swimming legends Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett to race each other at the peak of their careers.
No matter who comes first, both are going to put in a reliably outstanding performance.
ASX mining shares and ASX bank stocks have long histories as reliable ASX dividend shares.
The mining shares can outdo bank stocks quite substantially when commodity prices are high, but regardless, you're going to get a very decent dividend yield out of both of them over the long term.
