I would say Detroit and the old Gagliano/Lucchese Family.
New Orleans, much like The Bonannos are a "top down" Family. Meaning the power and wealth of the Family comes the boss in place. The perfect example of a "bottom up" Family is the Genovese, Chicago and Gambinos. The strength of the soldiers and crews allow a boss to sit atop a strong emipre, no matter what his credials are.
