Both guys have made their mark as Tag Team specialists
-Kingston: WWF/E World Tag, WWE/RAW Tag, SDL Tag Championships with 5 different partners (Punk, Bourne, Truth, Big E & Woods), member of longest reigning Tag Champs(New Day) in WWF/E history, most Days as a Tag Champion in WWF/E history.
-Cesaro aka Claudio Castagnoli: ROH, CZW and CHIKARA World Tag Champion with Chris Hero, WWE/RAW Tag Champion with Tyson Kidd and Sheamus, SDL Tag Champion with Sheamus. Member of only team(Kings of Wrestling) to hold ROH, CZW & CHIKARA belts at the same time.
So who's successor to Arn Anderson's Legacy of best Tag Wrestler?

Even going just on Cesaro's WWE work, I'd say him. New Day have had a HOF worthy run, no doubt, but I liked all of Cesaro's tag teams from the pairings with Kidd and Swagger to The Bar.

Cesaro
Just think he can work with anyone and connect with them
Same could be said with Kofi somewhat as he's been champs with New Day, Punk, Truth and Bourne but outside of New Day those were all just random pairings that died quickly
When Cesaro tags with someone they sync real fast and he starts copying some of their gear and vice versa like he did with Kidd, Swagger, and now Sheamus

Cesaro easily. All three of his teams were genuinely really good and all came off like actual teams instead of two single guys killing time as a tag team. Other then New Day that really can't be said for all of Kofi's teams. I thought the Bourne team was decent enough but both the Punk and Truth teams just honestly weren't good and lacked chemistry despite being championship teams.

Cesaro.
New Day can be great, but Kofi’s other teams are forgettable at best.

I shot a vote to Kofi since he was trailing, but in my heart of hearts, I think Cesaro wins out.
The New Day are great, but I wasn't that into Punk/Kofi, or Air Boom, and don't even remember him and Truth teaming. Kinda surprised they never put Kofi and Justin Gabriel together as a tag team, that seems like it'd have been a pretty solid combination.

Cesaro is just a better wrestler in every way.

This thread makes me realise I am beyond bored of The Bar / New Day / Usos.

Both are better as singles wrestlers IMO.
I liked Air Boom and Kidd/Cesaro though. Not a big fan of The New Day at all.
I think I’d like The Bar more if they were similar to how they were when they first started. Cesaro as the James Bond type and Sheamus as the rough Guinness drinking ass kicker. Their first scene where they smashed up the pub was brilliant... then all of a sudden they’re wearing army jackets and kilts. Nah, that look is terrible fam. Give me Ferrari driving, suit wearing Cesaro back please.

Kofi's tag work is similar to Kane. Most of his teams are kinda random pairings but there's clearly spots in there that truly worked as something special. For Kofi, New Day is the high point and Air Boom could have been something if Bourne didn't get injured and wellnesed around the same time. Kane had a true connection with Taker and Bryan, but the rest were just another pair of people who had nothing else going on.
Meanwhile, all 3 of Cesaro's teams have been that.
