While Kirk is arguably the more influential, there is a simple goodness to Steve McGarrett. That plus the hair tips the scales for me towards McGarrett.
Re: Old Farts Only: Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord Era) or Captain Kirk (Wiliam Shatner E
First off; I want to point out the fact that I only know these names/characters from reruns in syndication. Age has nothing to do with it. (Another reason that age is just a bullshit number.)

Kirk only recognized the Prime Directive only when it suited him. Plus, it's science fiction. Jack Lord inspired an underage pornstar to adopt his name. The whole Five-O crew was guilty of wearing way too much polyester.
I'm tempted to call it a draw but Jack Lord was a better actor.

Hawaii 5-0 was THE topic of the day at school the day after Broadcast. Lord was known for being in great shape and working out on the beach for 2 hrs prior to filming.
I don't think he ever wore a man-girdle as Kirk has many times. " Book um Dano..murder one."
