You know, it's kind of interesting to compare them. If you look at it, (pre-Wall) Sylar and Samuel have a lot in common. What makes them both so dangerous isn't their power. Personality-wise, both are completely self-involved and act like petty, spoiled children, using their feelings of persecution to justify a sense of entitlement. They also have about as much regard for non-specials as most other humans give ants.
What makes them different is that, Sylar is content to ignore the ants, only pulling off their legs if they bite him, whereas Samuel is the kind of brat to go stomp on an ant hill when he's throwing a tantrum.
