Tesla is often regarded as the genius and Edison the fraud. Their rarites are, other than obvious gameplay reasons, boost by fame.

To be fair, both have exceptional Noble Phantasms (achievements) under their belt : Tesla has the power to harness a power originally reserved to gods, without relying on any god's power (he is basically the thunder god born from mankind) ; Edison has the power to negate the concept of making mysteries observable, recording them as a memento for mankind.

Interestingly enough, Tesla's NP shouldn't be weakened too much by Edison's NP since everything he achieved can be explained by science. Maybe that's another reason why he is ranked higher, but that's a stretch : to me, they are even in their own ways.
