Better Actor?
Better Filmography?
Higher Highs?
Lower Lows?
Single best performance between the two?

Hawke for everything, except Lows. His best performance is Gattaca.
There's been a lot of discussion last week around Montgomery Clift on this forum, and Hawke almost feels analogous to Clift for modern times. He's an extremely fine and talented actor with a similar nuanced and sensitive quality, yet not quite possessing a dominant enough screen presence to completely demand first rank stardom. I like him a lot.

Hawke drama, Dillon for stuff comedy-tinged. Dillon is talented but has no ambition, so he's not interesting.

Well, Ethan Hawke is a painfully boring actor who tries really, really hard not to be and name drops great actors so you'll think he's one too irl...........but he was cast and then used perfectly by Paul Schrader who took every one of his negatives and got huge returns from it as a positive in First Reformed.
His very (overly) average quality, his cloying and straining manner, his humorlessness, his man-child way about him (at nearly 50!) - which made him look like a lost child in Gods Kingdom - were turned into huge pluses in that specific role and how it was used.
I have no doubt Dillon may be a better actor, but alas, he doesn't have that role.....

I like them both a lot. And just recently they gave some of their best performances, Hawke in "Reformed" and Dillon in "Jack".
Acting: Hawke has more great performances probably, he has the consistency and has a better range than most people give him credit for but then again, if we're talking about dramas, I still count Dillon's "Drugstore Cowboy" and "Saint of Fort Washington" higher than Hawke's strongest dramatic efforts (even though Hawke's stuff is not too behind). As for comedies, I don't think Hawke can actually be funny? Meanwhile Dillon is hilarious in "There's Something about Mary" and "In & Out".
Filmography: Hawke, no doubt but Dillon's filmography is full of underrated gems as well.
Higher Highs/Lower Lows: Hawke is consistently good and has a great career, he had been in a lot of successful indies and genre films. He had his own share of failures ("Getaway"?) but still he never went as low as much as Dillon did with his VOD stuff. Performance wise, neither of them had been emberrassing in anything. Both are often good.
Single best performance between the two? Dillon in "Drugstore Cowboy", I guess.

Hawke by far in everything. Much more talented and than Dillon, with solid filmography.
Best performances: Training Day and Boyhood for Hawke, Crash for Matt.
