Both men had 'Charisma' and led two very different campaigns. Montgomery quickly learned to use the press, he knew how to invoke loyalty by being visible to both politicians and his men. Slim was simply a great leader, he didn't have or need the publicity machine that dominated Montys life, but he enthused his men.
I once hitched a lift with a Chindit, and he was still in awe of what Slim achieved.
So, different strokes for different folks, and differing circumstances, I'd go for a draw. (fence sitter)

You should talk to somebody who gives a f**k.
