I think he had more foresight than Lincoln, particularly with central banking and its implications. Lincoln was aware too, just not to the level Jackson was.
On the flip side, I think Jackson had large balls, but not as big as Lincoln's. I feel most of us look back on history and Lincoln with an assumption that the Civil War was inevitable, but it wasn't. If we put ourselves in Lincoln shoes at that time, the weight of the decision he had to make is immeasurable.
I would have gone with Andrew Jackson.
I can definitely see that argument.

Lincoln was a monster and a base opportunist
And a statist if there ever was one.
