Simple vote for this one: Afuro Terumi. Aphrodi still remains one of the best players in the entire series.

First of all, Aphrodi is a mentally far better player. He has more leadership qualities and is more intelligent than Hiroto, despite Hiroto showing some sense of intelligence against The Empire. Physically, the win still goes to Aphrodi. Hiroto has quite bad stamina and his striking power isn't even at the level of Tsunami or Toramaru ( the anime trolled Rococo in order for Hiroto to score with Tenkuu Otoshi so the Little Gigant match means nothing ). Aphrodi, however, has a kick stat of 79 in his Zeus form meaning he's more powerful than Gouenji and is at the same level as Someoka.

On the hissatsu waza side of things:

Hiroto has Tenkuu Otoshi and Photon Flash (Photon Flash is game only for Hiroto), two considerably weak hissatsu waza compared to the other solo FFI waza (in all fairness to Hiroto, I thought Level 5 should've made Tenkuu Otoshi stronger). Photon Flash can't really get much done as a block waza because of how weak it is (25 TP).

Aphrodi, on the other hand, has God Break, which is one of the most powerful solo waza with a TP consume rate of 64 and G1 - G5 evolution, and is the center for Chaos Break, the most powerful shot waza in the series tied with some others. Let's not forget he has The Icarus (game only), which is one of the most powerful dribble waza in the series (57 TP).

With all due respect to Hiroto, he's a good player, just isn't at the level of Aphrodi yet. Vote goes to Afuro Terumi.
