Even Agent 47?
I'm sure Ninjas could take both bounty hunters AND assassins, unless pirates are involved, in which case everything goes to hell. And if we value our sanity, we'll leave robots and vampires right out of such a debate.
Hard to decide, both groups have some pretty "cool", if that's applicable, members in fiction, in real life though they're much like real life Private Investigators, that is far less glamorous. Still, I'll go with assassins, maybe it's just the whole Kill Bill thing still going on and all the other fictional assassins, and the concept seems a lot more impressive. Vincent from Collateral? A great movie, and a great character. Boba Fett? Yeah, he's cool, but had barely any lines, and got knocked into the Sarlac Pitt by a blind Solo, in a classic moment of unintentional slapstick.
And technically bounties aren't strictly limited to bad people, unless we are talking the type of bounty hunters who only chase down crooks who have have jumped bail. Like Stephanie Plum, from that book series (One for the Money etc)
