I guess either one is pretty impressive. Either you can blow by an opponent, or out jump them for the ball. Ultimately, 4.3 though. Improving a vertical is probably easier than improving your 40 time.
My thinking is, some of the most elite WRs in the NFL right now had horrid 40 times.. E.g. Larry Fitzgerald

But I bet they had awesome verts..
