Really, you might as well just take Ledger off the poll and ask who gets the silver medal. This isn't a comparison. This is a slaughter.
Nicholson is still my favorite
I just feel that Nicholson was more of the classic comic book Joker come to life. His electric buzzer, the acid flower and the Joker gas really go a long way for me. They also couldn't have gotten a better actor for the role in 89.
Ledgers performance is god tier, and the characterization of his Joker was very much like the comics in a lot of aspects (I really respect how much inspiration Nolan took from TKJ and the first few appearances in the Golden Age for his Joker) but still I feel like Nicholson is more of a classic Joker.
As weird as it sounds... I think TDK is a better movie than Batman, but Batman is just my favorite movie ever. The murderous Burton Batman is a negative but despite that, it's still my favoriteso many iconic scenes.

Trust me. There are some fan film Joker's that are head and shoulders better than Leto.

Ledger on his way to steal Leto's Harley
I like Leto's Joker. It's different and it fits with Joker having a criminal career longevity in this cinematic universe.
Heath's interpretation would just keep blasting chaos till he gets killed by the death Penealty, law enforcement, or Batman himself.
Nicholson's Joker was too campy, for my tastes
