Kefka's definitely more entertaining, but I do appreciate how we're given far more of a look into Sephiroth's origins and his descent into madness. They're both science experiments gone wrong, but whereas the experiment directly resulted in Kefka turning into a sadistic power-hungry psychopath, in Sephiroth's case it was him finding out the truth of his origins together with a mistaken idea of what Jenova was that gradually did him in, which I find more interesting. In the end they both become god-like beings, though the difference is Kefka actually destroyed the world, obtained the pinnacle of power, and sought to eventually eradicate all life, whereas Sephiroth didn't quite manage to do the same, as his goal was to obtain ultimate power by absorbing the planet's energy that would gather at the point of Meteor's impact, which would result in the eradication of all life, but that was incidental for him.
