Rosevelt and Rosevelt

Roosevelt (T.R.) for the Republicans

Jackson for the Demos

Lincoln/JFK

Republicans: Lincoln gets the nod, with TR as the best peacetime Republican

Democrats: James K. Polk. Annexed by treaty or conquest one third of the modern continental United States.

Whigs: Millard Filmore wins by default, mostly by not dying in office.

Federalists: Washington, who established the precedent of the president peacefully turning over his office at the end of his constitutional term.

Jefferson and Lincoln: the first of the parties, the best of the parties.

Rosevelt and Rosevelt

I am so going to beat you

Republican: Lincoln

Democrat: Either Roosevelt or Wilson

Whig: William Henry Harrison. He was most popular

Democratic-Republican: Thomas Jefferson or James Madison

Federalist: John Adams (He was the only Federalist president)

Washington never technically declared himself to be a Federalist (he loathed the idea of party politics), but I consider him one because he sided with them most of the time. Adams signed the Alien and Sedition Acts.

Overall I could never decide. For this century though, Eisenhower.
