Obito had a better back story than Madara. His fall due to Rin's death and Madara's subsequent hand in all of that...it was really messed up and Obito being an alternate path for Naruto was a really cool parallel.

But what made Obito and Madara so different from all the other villains in the story is that they genuinely believed they were doing the right thing and both showed extreme regret once their hatred was lifted.
