Tootsie, by a mile! I did not like Mrs. Doubtfire at all.
One thing that has not been commented on so far in this thread, though, were the characters of the other supporting male players. Bill Murray, Charles Durning (loved the scenes between him and Hoffman!), George Gaynes (as the aging alcoholic leading man), and Sydney Pollack were all just hysterical! -- and the dialogue was first rate. My husband and I still quote lines from the movie to each other. ("Good shower?" "Good shower." and "I don't believe in hell. I believe in unemployment, but I don't believe in hell." And those are just two of many.) I definitely think that Hoffman and Kingsley ("Gandhi") should have tied for the Best Actor Oscar that year.
(However, I also did not like the treatment that Teri Garr's character received from Hoffman's character, either!)

Garr's big scream that she lets out near the end of the movie is classic. Sooo funny.
Dialogue snippet:
George:You played a tomato for 30 seconds - they went a half a day over schedule because you wouldn't sit down.
Michael: Yes - it wasn't logical.
George: You were a tomato!
