Clover undoubtedly has more SOUL.
The music, new Pokemon, region, everything is fucking great. It also had a decent amount of new ideas for ROMhacks that others later stole. The writing is also completely unironically good. I laughed a lot, and humorless fags who say "uh um those jokes were cringe sweaty" should tie a noose around their neck and go bungie jumping.
Radical Red however is *technically* the better game; it pushed romhacking forward more than Clover did purely from a tech standpoint. It's amazing how much it was able to cram into a GBA rom, and its Minimal Grinding mode makes it endlessly fun to replay since it's so fast.
I would absolutely kill for Clover with some sort of Minimal Grinding mode.
