Tony.

Michael had a lot more challenges to deal with given the times with the mobs losing power through the 80s and 90s (rising cartel). Vito just got lucky that he didn't lose as many children while he was alive as Michael did. Vito was the better "man of the people" guy and could negotiate and retain relationships a lot better. Michael mainly held his power through fear and swift, cunning action; the consequences of this approach show in the series. Credit must be given to Michael though as he at least doubled/tripled the family's wealth through getting into corporations.

Far, far more than that. He purchases the Immobilari shares from the Vatican in Godfather 3 for $600 million.
obviously vito
he was very charismatic and he could inspire loyalty and love like nobody else. michael ruled by fear, machiavellian style.

Vito was just as feared in his earlier days. He wasn't some great bloke, just mates with many politicians and the right people. He was ruthless, where do you think Michael got it from? He was just getting softer in his old age.

read the book. vito knew the value of friendship. he adopted tom hagen off the street and made him consigliere even though it was extremely frowned upon to have a non-sicilian in such an important position. nearly everybody loved him and respected him.

Tom was only consigliere for Vito for a few months.
