You meant only on this particular movie , right?
I, personally wouldn't get myself doing a comparison on these two leading roles of Donnie Brasco. It really seems kinda unnecessary to me. I mean, how could you even imagine of another actor in place of either Depp or Pacino in this film! Could you, really?
Lastly, let me say this, my friend you really want me tell ya 'Pacino or Depp' (particularly about DB)?
Ah FORGET ABOUT IT!

If someone replaced Al in this movie it would have fallen apart. But, if you replace Depp, it would have been fine.
Al did all the hard work. He had to make himself lower that the other mobsters, but seem to be naturally a much superior beast than the new Brasco who was actually as cop and pretend to be on to him and but also want to believe that Donny is the real thing.
When Lefty takes of his ring and watch you could cry. He has just been betrayed and he was going to this death with love still in his heart for Donny. Power!
Depp is pretty and all that but he was a long way from his greatness of Captain Jack.
That
Depp
might
have buried Al in this film but, Depp was just starting to be great. A contender. Al was still the boss, playing it soft and loud whenever he wanted. -

Pacino, the greatest actor of all time. People like to compare him to De Niro but De Niro plays the sam3 character in every film, gangster or not. Pacino otoh can play a gangster in 3 films and yet they would all be vastly different from one another. Only Pacino can play Michael Corleone, Tony Montana, and Lefty Ruggiero and convince you he is that character, yet they are vastly different from one another.
