If we're talking about real life (you know, people who don't play games), then none. People from my side of the world only know these guys as "The Assassin", nothing more. They don't even know that Ezio and Altaïr are two different people.

If we're talking about the community (world wide, of course), then Altaïr would win. I've seen arguments on various forums pitting the two together (Sorry, no Malik), Altaïr keeps coming out on top :D
