I would say on par.
Jimmy is in general a lot more likeable for the average person and his evil deeds are somewhat funny or quirky at times he’s more devious and dastardly like a crooked Robin Hood, when he’s full Saul of course he goes quite far but not quite as bad as Walter.
Walter was more serious but gentle and introverted in a sense caring more about science and not making a fuss, as Heisenberg he became a real b*****d of a person who knew better than you and was arrogant enough to rub it in your face, he was often more sloppy than Saul but way more bombastic and fantastical in his endeavours.
Walter is the dying man who chooses to go down swinging in a blaze of blood and glory, Jimmy is the the guy that just can’t help himself not matter what and it eventually burns those around him.
It’s interesting that Walt dies hated and alone after becoming the worst and arguably most powerful of all the big guns in the BB world but somewhat ends with one last slight guilt edged deed of saving Jesse the “son” he didn’t want.
while Jimmy actually does exactly what he used to love watching in the old shows “you will atone!” Kim is the one person in his life he saw could redeem them self and do what was right that was part of the time machine symbolism of the finale, Kim did what Chuck, Mike and Walt could not and Jimmy chooses to leave Saul gone for good and take responsibility at last.
