both are terrible but in different ways. it's really hard to say which one is least bad, but I think in the end I prefer the 80's style, probably because I've had less exposure to it.
Some (rare) manga has good character design, but really, if you like that sort of stuff just go read Belgian/French comics (
bandes dessinées if you're feeling like they're a separate ~art form~ like manga apparently is) instead.
edit: and by that I mostly mean things like Blueberry or Thorgal, not really Asterix (even though that, too, has great character designs in its own way).

out of morbid curiosity, I'll have to ask what kind of western comics you have in mind here?
