Clovis vs Charles Martel

We talked about this one in class today, but I'd like to open it up for debate here.  Both Clovis and Charles Martel were powerful and influential leaders of their time.  They had major obstacles to overcome in achieving their goals.  For Clovis, uniting the Franks was a major hurdle to overcome when his people were accustomed to living as separate tribes.  For Charles Martel, the seemingly unstoppable Muslim army was a force to be reckoned with.  Who's accomplishments were greater?  Who do you think was the greater ruler?
