voted for dracula but I would like to make it known that I consider Christopher Lee to be a far better dracula than bela

Lots of Draculas are better than Bela. I think its more about the character and the impact that character had. Bela was just a vehicle. Because of that I voted Dracula too. As much of a fan I am of Lion in Winter and Peter O'Toole I can't deny the fact that most people have never heard of that movie whereas Dracula is iconic.

Actually, I'm a little ashamed that I didn't offer up Peter O'Toole's TE Lawrence as one of the greatest movie characters.

I think characters with single films are stronger because there is less of a chance of their becoming a parody of themselves. There are many nominations here that I loved in the first movie, but sequels made me ignore them. I had to consider the character as a whole.

With Dracula, I've never even really cared for the novel.

I do think that a case could be made that, since having "a deep impact on cinema as a whole" was one of the criteria which feev originally set forth, a character with a high enough high point may still qualify when taken as a whole, even if it is one that has many low points.

I would consider those many, many low points as part of the impact since an impact can be positive or negative.
