Lelouch Lamperouge of Code Geass or Light Yagami of Death Note?

My vote is Lelouch. He seemed to have a clearer understanding of the big picture and how to achieve his goals.

I feel like Light made some mistakes. The most critical being just trying to be involved w the search. If he just focuses on school and goes to university he could kill at will. Besides it would be impossible to ever legitimately build a case against a killer like that. If he just maintains the secret compartment in the drawer hes golden.

Some of the chess game in Death Note was so ridiculous it was borderline deus ex machina. I liked Death Note but did not always agree with the logic leaps of faith L and N were making.
