Superman is more invulnerable but Hulk is more resistant to pain than him. He almost died here...

Hulk has walked around with his brains hanging out the back of his head.

I forget where I read that Superman doesn't even enjoy his showers because he can't feel the warm water. It was new 52 for sure.

Hulk feels the most pain, because Superman is invulnerable.

He does feel less pain, because he generally feels less (as seen with the hot showers).Depends what you mean by 'takes it better'. Hulk' response to pain stimuli is to get madder and angrier, and thus, stronger.
Superman would probably stoically fight on.
In essence it seems like what is being asked is who has the greater willpower.
If that is the case, I guess probably Superman should win.

As an aside, that shower scene (Googled & found it) is retarded BTW.
I much preferred Byrne's take on it (cant find it though), where he was invulnerable but could still feel a shower, even if he did have to turn the hot water on full blast.
I find it very dehumanizing towards the character.
