I love the Stewart character much better. He brings a lot of character to the role.
wtf? they are fictional characters, how can one bring more character to the role.
Are you saying John Stewart is a more morally grounded person than Hal Jordan making him a better Green Lantern?
Are you saying that Stewart character makes for a better movie role? A better fit in the JL?
Personally, the only reason I believe Stewart to be popular is because of the cartoon wanting to diversify its cast so there wasn't an all white JL.
Now that DC got the bright idea to promote Cyborg, Stewart is back to secondary character.
Hell they even brought in Simon Baz as (yet another) Earth GL.
Hal fits better in the JL because he's very different than Superman and Batman.
Lot of DC fans will tell you that the real trinity of DC is Supes,Bats, and GL (Hal) nowadays-especially considering after the New 52 reboot that only Bats and GL kept their current books with the same story.
It also helps that Geoff Johns, DC creative chief, wrote his book for so long.
Which is why this surprises me so much. DC rebooted it's animated series as well, putting the 52 JL in place with Hal back as the main GL.
You'd think WB/DC would synergize across all platforms with their line-ups.
and if we're talking interesting characters, frick go with Guy Gardner. He's fricking awesome.
ETA: if the RR movie hadn't bombed so hard, any non Hal GL wouldn't be up for discussion.

And so many people lay that at the feet of Ryan Reynolds as if it were his fault. That movie was a mess from start to finish and had little to nothing to do with Reynolds. It was a poor script that was poorly directed and then chopped into pieces in the editing room. Just terrible all around. No one could have saved that movie from itself.

Damn Ron, tell us how you really feel about it. 
But I can't really argue with anything you just said. For me, Hal will always be the 1st GL that pops in my head. He had a much bigger role and had a much bigger effect on the DC universe as a whole than Stewart in several of their big universe affecting storylines throughout the years. And like you said, his cockiness was always a nice change of pace against Batman & Superman (I always thought he personality over all was a nice change of pace from those two). And since the New 52, he has been placed back in the "lead" GL role for the JL.
