1992: Brown was a real quasi-libertarian weirdo back then (and kind of still is). He may have beaten Bush but he could just as easily have gone down in a landslide. Tsongas could easily have been painted as an out-of-touch liberal, as could have Harkin. Kerrey (who is actually quite charismatic) could have won a big victory though, despite his, er, issues.
2016: Kasich would have won a bigger victory on a lower turnout. I have a feeling that Rubio would have choked, losing all of the key states in the North and maybe even Florida. Cruz could have won but probably wouldn't have.
So I dunno, they're about equal.
