Bodie is initially a Barksdale organization drug dealer in "The Pit" who slowly rises through the ranks. Intelligent and violent, he is willing to do what it takes to get ahead in the drug world, to the point of

His relationship with the police is also dynamic. His frequent interactions with Ellis Carver and Thomas "Herc" Hauk begin as purely hostile but improve over time. He eventually earns the respect of Officer Jimmy McNulty.

vs.

Prez has a well-known history of incompetence in the department. The incident most often cited is that he once shot up his own squad car in a panic, then called in a false report. He has been bounced around various units, and is considered an inept detective. Because he married the daughter of career officer (and political force) Stanislaus Valchek, he is protected from being fired, despite their mutual dislike. Prez had most recently been working in the casualty division under Lieutenant Cantrell prior to the series. Prez is portrayed as a mostly intelligent and good hearted man, but unsuited to the often brutal realities of Baltimore police work. Despite his winning the respect of his colleagues in the Barksdale / Sobotka details through his data interpreting and paper chasing skills, he is never truly comfortable as a police officer. By contrast, he later becomes a committed and dedicated teacher.

Oh men, this was actually tough. Both characters were SUPERB in Season 4. However, I think I'll give the edge to Boadie. For obvious reasons, I felt a stronger emotional pull with his character.

I really liked Prez in season 4 but Bodie was the pit guy I connected with the MOST.

I really like both. Prez was shit at first and then for whatever reason I decided I liked him. I actually never got why he was painted as such an idiot but then a few episodes later was a code cracking paper chasing master. Didn't feel too smooth to me tbh! I get the 'isn't cut out to be a police officer' stuff though.

lol, it's sort of like how people can be smart at math and yet can't spell for shit.

Just because he's good at paper work and can crack codes doesn't mean he knows how to patrol the streets and deal with hoodlums.

I didn't like Prez at all when he was police, but I really started to like him when he became a teacher.

But I always liked Bodie, so I voted for him

This is really close for me too. I liked both pretty much from the start and all the way through the series. Prez was great as a teacher and had some of the most heartbreaking scenes in the series. I don't really know who to choose right now.
