On what basis would Orochimaru had been a better villain?

As Chaosattractor said there is no way Oro could be a plot-centric villain. He was basically a stalker of Uchiha talent and him going after Sasuke we learned about his brother.

Additionally, the Uchiha were bound to be more involved with the plot. No way we're going to just ignore what happened to them. Itachi double-agent status was going to be seen too since we didn't see what his father was talking about.

Remember Sasuke gaining the third tomoe in his battle with Naruto at valley of the end? Considering how obtaining a Sharingan is related to pain/friendship it was bound to be something that involved his feelings towards Itachi.
