Between those two I would probably go with Mo over Arazi. Others that might deserve mention here are War Pass, Street Sense, and Unbridled's Song.
From a speed figure perspective War Pass's BCJ was much better than Arazi's and also better than Uncle Mo's, although obviously War Pass had a style/trip that lent itself to a big fig that day.
Street Sense's winning move was - in my mind - almost as eye-catching as Arazi's, and on the whole I thought Street Sense's overall race was better. He also ran a considerably faster speed figure than Arazi.
I was never a big fan of Unbridled's Song but I might actually rank his BCJ at or very near the top. He overcame a trip that was considerably different than his previous races and prevailed in a long stretch battle against a quality colt while being pinned along the rail the entire time and ran a 103 BSF.
