Personally I'd say buu is better because he managed to survive for centuries while cell died in less than a year. And buu actually destroyed earth and never gave up until the bitter end while cell tryed killing himself and taking the earth with him.

Honestly though I'd say neither are quite as good as frieza because he had his own power and didn't need to rely on absorbing people. And frieza and buu would never have backed down from a fight while cell spent half his saga sneeking around and hiding from a stronger opponent.

Out of the main 3 I'd say cell was the least ruthless although that didn't stop him from absorbing all those people in a horror movie like fashion and I did like his sense of sportsmanship until he threw it out the window against gohan.

Cell was smart, tactical, cool, while his over-inflated arrogance was his downfall. Frieza was no different, though he has some anger-management issues to be solved.

Here is why Buu is clearly leagues ahead of Cell.
1. Cell's absorption is a joke, really
2. Buu can absorb, learn any technique by seeing it and turning anyone or anything to any object he wants.
3. Zenkai is about as much potential as Buu's absorption
4. Perfect Cell cannot absorb canon wise, it hasn't been shown and GT should not be taken seriously.

In the manga does he stick Piccolo with his tail and absorb some of his energy until Piccolo's arm shrivels up like when they fought in Ginger town in the show? Cell also absorbed a ton of humans allowing him to become strong enough to surpass Super Namek Piccolo and 17 and when he defeated Piccolo, he said he could absorb him but chose not to and blasted him into the ocean. Buu can absorb but he can also lose the absorbtions he has.

Cell might be able to though but he probably felt the need not to and he had more of a fighting/fighter body so the tail might have gotten in the way or give him a disadvantage. Just a thought.

Buu survived for centuries because he was sealed away by bibid's magic. Cell trying to kill everyone with his self destruction isn't really giving up, it's a last resort to try to destroy the z fighters. The only villain who ever really gave up was Frieza when he begged for his life from Goku and asked for help. Cell didn't just blindly run into a fight while imperfect because destroying the z fighters wasn't his main objective, it was reaching perfect form, that's the whole reason he came back to the past because the androids in the future were destroyed, destroying the z fighters was another objective but not until he became complete. You're saying Cell is the least ruthless but then you admire his sportsmanship which doesn't make sense to me. If you admire his sportsmanship it's contradictory to be critical of him not blowing up the planet the second he became perfect.
