More impressive dynasty? New England Patriots ('01-'16) or San Francisco 49ers ('81-'96)

No two teams have been as dominating during the Super Bowl era as the New England Patriots ('01-'16) or the San Francisco 49ers ('81-'96).

The questions then begs, which sustained run was more impressive, the Pats or the 49ers?
