Lelouch (if he got the death note) would only reach his goal if he found no resistance: even if he killed every prince before him, I doubt noone would try to stop him getting the throne. In this way, the geass is better because although it has more limitations(like eye contact and only one time per person) it has more options of use.
One crucial diference between Light and Lelouch is Suzaku. Light has noone he considers friend, he is cold and does not worry with the consequences of his actions. But Lelouch is more human: he has a goal, noone changes his mind about it but he will not go as far as to kill someone that is his friend. Episode four proved this; he risked his entire plan and the trust of the rebels to save someone. Light would´nt do so for Misa.
...I wonder if the Geass can order a person to do what they don't know about , or using complex orders?? Like ordering a street thug to hunt down and kill another street thug AND leave a measage like "JUSTICE" around or something.
Probably, for in episode 5 (spoilers) they show a girl who was told by lelouch (using geass) to, everyday, do a plus mark on the wall.
