I'll be Switzerland and be neutral in this case. With that, and me being newer to TNA as of late, my "comparison" will pretty much suck, but I'm going to choose to participate anyway. Mostly just because I would like to see threads such as this succeed. So, feel free to skim past mine, but without further ado, here I go....
I really like both Aries and Punk, and I like them almost equally. I do have more of a preference towards Punk because of being more familiar with him and liking what I see / hear of him outside the ring, as well, but that gets into the non-wrestling aspect of things.
On the mic, I think Punk definitely takes the lead. I enjoy listening to Aries, and he does have some great mic moments, but for me he still can't quite compare with Punk. Inside the ring, I enjoy watching both of them, but I would say Aries has an edge on Punk, based on what I have seen lately. As far as their looks go.... that's not something important to me when thinking comparisons / skills, but I know some fans are still of the mindset that you have to be big and muscular to be considered a good wrestler. This is actually one of the things I have always liked about Punk, as far as breaking the mold. I'm not a fan of the huge muscular / bodybuilder look. I prefer the underdog, smaller build, slightly muscular, "I can still kick your ass." look.
Punk is taller than Aries, so he would come across as looking a bit tougher, I would think. As a chick, I think they're both kind of hot, but really, to me at least, Punk is hotter. (Just a sidenote as a female fan making comments, not taking that into account with their skills.) So of course in that light I also would somewhat enjoy watching Punk more.
So, there ya go ... For me, Punk has a slight edge, in part because of familiarity since I've watched WWE longer than I have TNA, but I'm really pretty neutral and like them almost equally.

Both of their looks aren't going to draw in millions, but Aries has the underdog look amd Punk has the badass look - typically the badass will draw in more imo.
....I've got to admit, on last week's SmackDown when for a brief time Punk, Cole and Bryan were all three in the ring together -- I loved seeing how Punk looked even better by comparison and made Bryan and Cole look that much worse when you had all three in the ring at one time. lol Punk's my kind of guy, so I think he's pretty good looking anyway, but seeing the three of them in a ring made comparisons easy, and made him look that much better imo, strictly from the eye candy standpoint.
