While I don't think neither were bad Hokage, but I do think Tobirama was blinded by his own distrust for him to led the village properly.

What Tobirama did was wrong, he went against Hashirama's wishes and should have never separated the Uchiha to their own section in the tail end of the village and then gave them the police force so they can be spied on and not trusted. The Uchiha's were doing nothing wrong, in fact, to the point where they turned against Madara. So there was no reason for Tobirama to do what he did, he did that because he was still holding on to distrust and rage from the "Warring States". The Uchiha aren't stupid, they realized what was going on and that's on things starting going south and then with the Obito's attack on Konoha only made things worse.

At least, Hiruzen actually tried to do something to help the Uchiha and the village, though it didn't work because it led to the Uchiha massacre, but at least he was more open to working things out with the Uchiha and starting fresh then Tobirama was. That being said, I don't hate Tobirama, but he's not on my list as one of my favorites.
