I'd suggest that George Patton represented the inevitable clash between the old fashioned conquerer and the new 20th Century soldier who had to be politically accountable; Monty was a general ever mindful of the new order of political consideration of the world that would remain after conflict
Perhaps then you can't compare like with like when putting up the old world generals against the new... but for for audacity, romance and glamour I'd choose Patton, with his feet not very firmly planted in the past and in the present
