Who in all of comics makes the best use of prep? I'm talking short term (a few hours to a week) and long (months to years). I've come up with a short list, feel free to add any I've left out.
1. Thanos
2. Reed Richards
3. Lex Luthor
4. Batman
5. V (V for Vandetta)
6. Dr. Strange
7. Deathstroke
8. Darth Sidious
9. Tony Stark
10. Dr. Doom
__________________ I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species that I realized you aren't actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. And the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we...are the cure.
Guys, they're all great. This one is going to depend on the situation. All these guys are good, and all of them are best at what they do. If it's detective work that you need, it'll be Batman, etc. etc. There's no need to invalidate any of them, because they're all great. It's going to come down to the nature of the task.
Long term prep
1. Thanos of Titan
2. Darth Sidious
3. Bats
4. Lex Luthor
5 V
6.Doom...Can't think of ay long term feats for the other guys.
Short term prep
1.Reed
2. Thanos of Titan
3. Doom/Strange
4. Bats
5. Luthor
6. Tony Stark...It gets hazy after this, and I don't know eough of Deathstroke to place him.

I'll have to take your word on it...never read anything with him in it.

Marvel
LongTerm, I'd say Thanos. 1. Thanos. He knew about the HOTU during the Infinity Abyss saga, but didn't do anything about it until Marvel: The End. He knew what players to grab when Warlocks good and bad sides went bonkers. He also grabbed "supreme" power 3 times.
Shortterm, Doctor Strange. In the Infinity Gauntlet series, he knew he'd have to fight Adam Warlock so he grabbed all of his most powerful artifacts and used the Eye of Agamotto to hide them. And was able to overcome the powers of the infinity gauntlets with shortterm prep.
DC
Longterm
It'd be a tossup between Lex Luthor and Alex Luthor. Lex planned for the eventual dead of Alex by Joker.
Shortterm, batman. That guys got mad detective analytical skills.
