Grant, of course. While Lee was a good tactician, Grant had the advantage when it came to overall strategy and visionary leadership. Not to mention that Grant had an intellectual prowess and ability to see the battlefield. He had a topographic memory which made him an incredible asset.

On the Confederate lines, while they were scrambling to move maps around for the field commanders, Grant had the picture of the battle lines in his mind. That's pretty hard to beat. I also liked Grant's character too for going easy on the defeated Confederates. Being vindictive surely would have capsized the nation and further embattled a divided country.
