I love Squirrelflight and like Leafpool so technically both but on different levels of my overall enjoyment regarding their characters. I thought Squirrelpaw was annoying and Leafpaw was boring when they got initially introduced upon reading TNP for the first time as a child but definitely changed my mind quicker about Squirrelflight even though neither of their choices in canon mates were ever to my liking and I would have preferred for them to be switched instead (so BrambleLeaf and CrowSquirrel) or have someone else entirely. Leafpool got way more interesting to me in PoT and OotS though while I have grown a bit tired of Squirrelflight (and Bramblestar) constantly still getting spotlight after already being important characters for four arcs (TNP, PoT, OotS and TBC). So there's that.
I voted for Squirrelflight though.

Squirrelflight. I think she is one of the best characters from TNP and Leafpool would have been just below her if they didn't ruin her entirely.

Both. Leafpool hit her peak for my enjoyment in AVoS, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading her story arc from TNP-OoTS as well, even though I didn’t always agree or sympathize with her decisions.
TNP Squirrelpaw/flight is when she’s at her best imo, she’s fiery, spunky and loaded with attitude, and is admittedly a royal pain in the neck at times, but love her all the same, PoT Squirrelflight obviously is more of a background character, and paternal leave a lot to be desired, and she’s seemed to become A lot more arrogant, little bossier and doesn’t really seemed to mature at all, but she doesn’t pull anything truly to infuriating or objectionably horrible, just a bit too strong-willed and cocky at times. OoTS-AVoS she’s mostly in the background, but still plays some important roles and retains her personality, and hasn’t become completely one-dimensional, and I honestly felt bad for her after Brambleclaw broke up with her, but she really brought it upon her self for handling things in a very unorthodox, inappropriate manner that seriously she should of contemplated the consequences of her actions before going through with them, but hey that’s Squirrelflight. Them getting back together was kinda out of the blue and unnecessary, but I’m not opposing it or anything and honestly I think they do well together(when the Writing team isn’t running low on ideas, and adding yet another nonsensical conflict between them for Drama purposes). SqH and TBC. Not even gonna trek down that road or delve into it, because honestly she’s unrecognizable at that point and might as well be being possessed, and it’s impossible for me to talk about it without going on some dark tirade, and obscenely long rant While trying to shield away some really dark thoughts from entering the mix, so just no. TNP-AVoS Squirrelflight, really enjoyable and fun to read about, she’s got magnitudes of complexity, with plenty of flaws mixed in, that needs to learn to be less impulsive and think before doing more often. SqH & TBC Squirrelflight? An incongruous emotional wreak that seems to like to step out of line, and constantly insists she’s in the right, even more then usual, and then emotionally manipulating anyone that disagrees or thinks differently out of pure unmitigated arrogance and Stubbornness, which makes her come off as an incredibly immature, and emotionally unstable that seriously needs to grow up, and be more considerate to others, without always making herself the main focus.

Leafpool! She is my favorite. Meanwhile I always found Squirrelflight annoying, even when I first read Midnight.

Squirrelflight, of course. I found her annoying as hell when she was an apprentice, but shortly after, I grew fond of her. Also, Leafpool is one of my least favorite characters, so...

leafpool. she's been kind since day 1. and even when she does do wrong, she is quick to punish herself and back down, unlike squirrelflight who has been an arrogant, self righteous jerk since the beginning and hasn't changed. leafpool will always be the better sister.

I feel neutral on Squirrelflight, so I voted for Leafpool, who’s one of my favorites.

I'm not a fan of either, but like Leafpool slightly more because she's shown to be temperamental and intelligent later on in her life, once the Great Battle resolves.

Squirrelflight for sure. I don't dislike Leafpool, but I don't like what she did. She hurt a lot of cats, and dragged Squirrelflight in the mess she made. I understand it was a mistake, and that is why I don't hate her for it, but I'm more of neutral on her. The reason why is, she was always a kind, understanding and hard-working cat that did a lot to make up for her mistakes and she was someone who punished herself for her mistake, which shows how good-hearted she is. But at the same time, she was an extremely boring pov character and I never liked her chapters. She was the definition of a camera so we knew what was going on in ThunderClan, and she was just so not interesting. I never liked her romance with Crowfeather and I absolutely don't like that she told Crowfeather she loved him while he was still mates with Nightcloud and Nightcloud and Breezepelt stood right beside them.
But Squirrelflight on the other hand, is someone I always liked. I liked her as an apprentice. I thought she was funny and I liked how sassy she was. I also loved her relationship with Brambleclaw, I thought their bickering was very entertaining, while most people think it was very annoying. She was just amazing after she became a warrior, and I liked all of her chapters. She was a very good mom in Power of Three and a good deputy in A Vision of Shadows. In her SE, she acted for the good of SkyClan, and while some people like to believe that she was soooo incredibly selfish for acting on her ideas to help the Clans and especially help SkyClan, I always thought of it as her doing the right thing. I don't like that she put Sparkpelt in the position to choose a parent (keeping Squirrelflight's secret which betrayed Bramblestar or telling Bramblestar which betrayed Squirrelflight), but that was a one-time thing and I think she should get way less crap for it. People are calling her a bad mom for it, while she was an amazing mother to her biological and adopted kits. One moment doesn't change everything she ever did for her kits. I love her in the Broken Code, she was such a complex character in that arc. She was under a lot of stress and I can't imagine how she must have felt when she found out it was Ashfur that was behind it all. She was put through so much pain, and honestly, I understand her decision to protect Bramblestar's body, even though I think it was pretty selfish.
But that is also what I like about Squirrelflight. She can be selfish, but she is incapable of doing anything but what she thinks is right. She is complex, and she is a character you can interpret in so many ways. I don't think she will be a great leader, but I think she is a very good deputy and I would love to see her retire and finally rest, after all she has been through.

Squirrelflight! I love her soooooo much, I could go on for hours about how much I adore this girl
I've come to really love Leafpool too, something younger me would be completely shocked at. Every year that passes by has made me appreciate Leafpool as a character more. I've come a long way from the days where I would constantly make vehement hate posts about her on the original forums in 2009 lol
