I'm sorry to say this, mainly for myself, but I think L would be a much better Zero. It's mainly because I simply think L is at a humongous intellectual advantage and in a much less demanding scenario; him not having to attend a school or anything of the such. Of course, charisma isn't L's strong point but most people, and definitely the police, would help L, supplying him with adequate pieces for a proper chess game. L's strategy is legitimate strategy for another reason; I cannot recall Deathnote using the power of fiction to create something instantaneously or without the viewers knowledge which, and I have evidence (listed at bottom), Code Geass did with Lelouch a visible amount of times.
How do I know that L will be assured his pawns? Well, think about it, the man has a unbeaten record and he only works for justice; people see him as a hero and he is. The majority of people would see him as a inspiration, and believe me, inspirations are hard to kill, just ask the all-too infamous Mr.Hitler who persuaded the whole of Germany to do something repulsive; treat fellow human lives value as nothing.
I can remember somewhat clearly three times that Code Geass swayed the odds toward Lelouch's benefit.
1. This was in R2 (middle?).
When Lelouch was about to inject himself with some drug that would inevitably have some bad effect due to him thinking he lost his beloved Nunnally's life by a fileaya (which Kururugi set off with help from his 'live'). He returned to the Black Knights when they were in a submarine surrounded by their adversaries. He commanded the submarine to shoot torpedoes straight ahead towards a just-then made up methane tank which then destroyed the enemies weapons with bubbles.
2. This was in R2 (beginning). I consider flash-backs a cheap way of saving a desperate character.
When the anime (Code Geass) flashback-ed to Lelouch mind controlling/using Geass on a enemy sniper. The sniper saved Lelouch's life, of course, by shooting at the guy chasing him (Rolo). Lelouch blocked the bullet and lost only a Knightmare arm and blah blah; I believe we know the rest.
3. This was in R1 (end).
I'm sure more people then me noticed this one. Lelouch used his Geass on some (underground?) people in a control room to collapse the support beams that held up a city. Of course, it was a desperate time otherwise known as war and the viewer was completely unaware of this for a good 20+ episodes; personally, I was somewhat annoyed.
