both had their good points, Stalin industrialized the Soviet Union in 10 years...not even China can say that. Without Stalin Hitler's Germany would be in control at least of Eurasia today, but in terms of the socialist revolution Stalin was a complete disaster. Trotsky was theoretically closer to Lenin and Marx, and would have forcibly supported the expansion of communism, since he felt that Russia was only a means to an end to worldwide revolution, Stalin was reactionary in that he accepted capitalist notions of the state and foreign policy...which eventually destroyed the USSR. So, if I had to say I were either it would be Trotsky, who was for to abolition of the state.
