Which one is the better of the two reigns? Clearly, from your view, it should be Cena. But realistically, Michaels had the more active defense history and thus should hold more weight over Cena's.

That is a gr8 point Xero. And I have to say it hits the nail on the head with what I'm trying to say. I respect a champion who can successfully defend his title constantly as opposed to someone who ducks opponents or will only wrestle "big matches." only to loose the title in his first of second deafens.
I loved when Benoit was the champ because it seemed like every week he went out and defended the title. He was not champ long, and he only had it once, but for about 6 months he defended the title almost every week.
It all comes back to ring/wrestling psychology these kind of little details are what makes or brakes pro wrestling.
