I think it's still too early to make an objective judgement. Both had they're strong suits and weak points.
Reagan was certainly more charismatic, and had more major events happened on his watch, so that may put him a bit higher in the history books.
It is interesting to see the partisanship peek through still. Some claiming that Reagan singlehandedly won the cold war while the economy just 'happened' to be strong under Clinton vs those who credit Clinton for phenominal economic growth and see the Soviet union as having self-destructed being the poorly run style of government that it was.
I think there is a lot more subtlety to the truth between the two extremes.
