I voted for Clint Eastwood mainly because I find Eastwood's movies more enjoyable than John Wayne's (although I do enjoy his movies too). Also, I agree with others that Eastwood is able to play a wider range of characters than John Wayne.
As an example, in a proposed live-action "Batman Beyond" movie, Eastwood has been mentioned as a possible Bruce Wayne (who is in is 70s and is an advisor/trainer to the new Batman). Eastwood has the range to play the role, and I think it would be perfect for him.
