Both made good points but it seems that Galileo didn't think about the full picture.

Aristotle was an idiot when it came to science. He's one of the many reasons why Europe got stuck 500 years in the dark ages.
But ultimately, the one that has the model to explain the most things concerning motion was Einstein. Galileo theorized and hypothesized, Newton quantified and Einstein expanded the whole theory of motion.

Aristotle had made some assumtions about falling bodies, but he never tested them. Galileo hpythesised and proved that all objects fall at the same rate (not accounting for wind resistance).

Aristotle was wrong in all of his beliefs about motion because he just "thought" about them. Galileo actually got up off his you-know-what and devised experiments to find out how motion really works, which is why he was right.

They were both wrong. Newton finally got it right.
