Peak for peak its somewhat close imo. If it's more prime vs prime it leans more towards Clyde(along with him leading teams way further into the playoffs).

I think Vince was better at basketball but Drexler stood out more when he played and had a much more notable career. Swap their positions and I would expect Vince to have marginally more success with the Blazers/Rockets than what Drexler had.

I think Vince had more native talent. I think Drexler was the better player. He was certainly the better defender, and you can make a pretty reasonable argument that he had the better scoring peak as well.

Vince was definitely more fun to watch when he was on his game, though.
