Well after all this discussion, I borrowed season 1 of Alias two weeks ago from my brother. Just finished it up tonight.
Based on season 1 alone(since I obviously haven't seen later seasons), I'd have to say Jack Bristow is a candy ass if you stand him up next to the first season of 24's Jack Bauer. Bristow had a few great moments but hardly the build-up I was expecting from this thread. Probably due to later seasons. Bauer was a badass from day... er.. hour 1 on 24. Bristow didn't really have a kick-ass moment until about 10 episodes in. Toss in the fact that he has been undercover for so long he is so messed up in the head he can't even speak to his daughter, and is seeing a psychiatrist. Kinda weak. He is definitely a cold blooded character, just not a badass, IMO.
But he did have a few great moments, they were just few and far between. Just not enough to make him a bigger 'badass.' Bauer is relentless, hour after hour. So I stand by Bauer.
It doesn't hurt that Bauer is the main character though, and Bristow is a secondary one. That changes things.

Bumping because of the current Jack Bauer vs. Sayid Jarrah poll.
(Michael Corvin has a link to this thread in the Bauer vs. Sayid poll.)

I have to go with Bauer. Bristow has the luxury of being covert, therefore not having to work within certain parameters such as the law. Bauer has to do all of his stuff with the possibility of discipline, prosecution, etc. since he can't really hide his actions like Bristow can.

I went with Jack Bauer because I think of a bad ass in a bit of an action hero kind of way. I don't want covert crap, I want "I need a hacksaw." I need to see your ass in the field kicking everyone's ass.
Bristow is a different kind of bad ass sure, but not the kind that gets my votes. Also, they sort of never developed him quite like I wanted them too, and a lot of the "bad things" we thought he did, he didn't really do.
