Dave is the better showman, Sammy is the better singer.

Roth is a better fit for Van Halen and is a better frontman but I think Hagar is a better vocalist overall.

Sammy Hagar in general but David was better in Van Halen.

I never liked Dave and didn't like his solo stuff. Hagar was miles better and i don't care how good a front man is live, i'm there to hear the tunes.

I like Hagar best as a solo artist. I saw VH-DLR three times and he was the life of the party.

Sammy Hagar is the better singer, but David Lee Roth was a better fit for Van Halen.

VH's catalogue with DLR is light years ahead of what they did with SH. Unless your aim is to separate this angle out, I don't see how you can not give the nod to DLR.

If we are specifically talking about their work with Van Halen, than Roth.

DLR easily. I like Sammy solo, but he was such a departure from what Dave was doing that it was an entirely different band. "Van Halen" means the band with DLR. "Van Hagar" is the band with Sammy.
Is Sammy a "better singer"? From a technical standpoint maybe. So are Steve Perry and Whitney Houston....both would suck as singers for Van Halen and ruin the band.
Rock singing has NEVER been about "vocal chops" anyway.
Here are some other singers who "can't sing" from a technical standpoint:
Tom Petty
Bruce Springsteen
Bob Dylan
Vince Neil
Anthony Kiedis
Axle Rose
Joe Walsh
Gene Simmons
John Lennon
David Bowie
Mick Jagger
Brian Johnson
Bon Scott
Chuck Berry
Ray Davies
Roger Waters
Layne Staley
Bon Jovi
Joe Strummer
Elton John
Neil Young
Eddie Vedder
Van Morrison
Lemmy
David Byrne
James Hetfield
Lou Reed
Ozzy
Tom Waits
Leonard Cohen
Johnny Cash
Ringo Starr
Janis Joplin
Kurt Cobain
Grace Slick
That's a short list. Even singers like Sammy would get kicked off of American Idol the first day.
Whatever Dave was...he had style. Sammy could never sing a song like these and pull it off. It would be embarrassing if he tried.

But the Red Rocker is a lead guitar player, or he used to be,
Montrose and Van Halen took the guitar out of his hands
