There were some stunning drives in both the wet and the dry from both drivers. Senna's stunning win at Interlagos with half his gearbox missing and Schumacher's domination of the Spanish GP in 1996 in a vastly inferior Ferrari are two prime examples.
Back on topic - if we are talking about the best COMPLETE drivers, it would have to be:
1. Schumacher
2. Prost
3. Alonso
4. Senna
5. Mansell
If we are talking about the quickest (sheer pace and overtaking ability):
1.) Senna
2.) Mansell
3.) Schumacher
4.) Gilles Villeneuve
5.) Hakkinen/Alonso
I can't really include the recent ensemble into the discussion (Hamilton, Vettel, etc.) as they are too early in their careers to properly judge them. But I would not be surprised to see both of them end up on the top 5 list at some point in the future.

your second list is by far better the order is almost perfect, i would like to change only one name: exit Hakkinen enter Keke Rosberg.
