IMO, Vito is both the coolest and most interesting one in the whole series, i was delighted to have him back in Mafia 3 as well.

He represents the entire cosa nostra life and what it does to people who stay for too long.
 
I'm going with Tommy since it's my favorite Mafia, both the original and the remake.
I also find him to be more compelling compared to the others. Swayed by easy money, only to be dragged into a hell of his choosing. For some reason, Lincoln Clay seemed more bland to me, even though he's a black man living in the very racist 60's AND he was trained by the CIA.
 
For Lincoln, i liked the angle of Vietnam vet they were going for, it was handled pretty well and not just Vito 2.0, but, the whole CIA thing did kill it for me.
 
For me it's Vito, because he is the one that has technically the most screen time of the three and we get to know him better, and his duo with Joe is awesome.
 
I think Mafia 3 has the most interesting narrative - wild ass CIA handler aside, that guy comes straight out of an entirely different genre - which ironically makes Vito a bit more interesting. I don't think the protagonists get a ton of personality in their games, open-world style main characters have to be broad-minded enough to accept a request from any rando on the street. Vito being a side character in Mafia 3 means he gets be a little more fleshed out as the subject of some side quests.
 
As a character Vito, but story-wise Lincon's revenge is in my opinion the best out of the three
 
Played only 1 , tommy is a good person he has a good moral compass "what if sarah or mother saw me?"

But he is letdown a path of wrongdoing he is aware of it "pray for me father" he tells the priest.

His speech during his trail confirms this more , he spares the life of that girl and frank....he didn't want to be treated same way honestly I admire playing as someone like this well you die in end which kinda shocked me I never played a game where im the one to get the short end of the stick before mafia.

So I go with ma boi tommy
