While I am not a fan of Jellal, I still like him more than Sieghart.

In their own way they are both cool characters, but Jellal is more realistic.

Sieghart almost tortures Elie to death in a very brutal and painfull way, without even fully investigating if his suspicion about Elie are true and all that is just fine with a single "sorry my bad" (not literally, but something along those lines)?

While Jellal might go a bit overboard with all the self-punishment, that he has a guilty consious about his misdeeds (even though he was partially forced) makes him far more likable than Sieghart who chose to kill and torture of his own free will and doesn't seem to mind all that much when it turns out he was wrong in doing so.
