Goku's simple and easy to understand for everyone. He's also not the typical hero.

Naruto is definitely more complex, but his bottomless depression makes me wanna puke. He is a typical Shonen character, and that's what makes him so boring.

I don't really find many characters in the Naruto-verse really worth paying attention to. Even though I was always a sucker for Haku and Zabuza....I stopped watching/ reading after those two appeared in the series. There really weren't any more characters beyond that point in the series that caught my interest (aside from Jiraiya, who is an obvious rip-off of Roshi). I've never been a big Naruto fan anyway, the series is so overrated and over-advertised. I've seen plenty of not-so mainstream anime that are quite a bit better than Naruto.

I'd have to say Goku...the manga one. Believe it or not, Goku in the manga is more simple and air-heady than in the anime. The anime (especially the Dub) "bad-assed" him up too much so that he was more of a super-hero and not a simple goofy character like he was in the manga. In the anime, he becomes a typical hero, and it kills the individuality of his character.
