In my opinion, Druids are overall a little bit weaker than Clerics in BG2, but much more so in BG1.

In BG2, Druids have a slight edge, spell-wise (Insect Plague and Creeping Doom are simply amazing), but the fact that they suffer in the equipment department limits their power somewhat. Still, the two Priest classes are close to equal in BG2.

During BG1, however, Clerics tromp all over Druids, because Druids don't get access to any really good spells, and Clerics do. Animate Dead alone is enough to win a battle for you, and BG1 Druids simply can't compete with that.
