I would favor GF1 slightly over GF2.
GF1 - I loved the way Michael calculated and strategized to take out his enemies in GF1. Taking care of all family business... the five families, Carlo, Moe Green etc..
GF2 - I loved the way he outsmarted Hyman Roth despite Fredo being a handicap for him. (Tom saying Roth played this one beautifully, I wanted to smack him) LOL
