Tennant was too much of a prettyboy for the role, Matt works better because he has the aura of weirdness the role needs.

That's precisely why I like him too. He has this optimistic, weird, child-like quality to him. But he can also be pretty bad-ass (I LOVE his speech at Stonehenge). Tennant got too mopey and..."emo" at the end. I mean, did he REALLY have to be so whiny about his regeneration? Especially considering how jarring it was in the end. It was like...
"I don't wanna go!" (I hate that line -_-)
BOOM! REGENERATION!
"Oh! I have a new body! Still got legs! Still not ginger! I'M A GIRL?! etc."
It went from "OMG he's going, it's so saaaaaaad!" to "hey, I'm the new, quirky Doctor! Woohoo!" in, like, a second!
And for the record: Donna is also probably my favorite companion. At least "full-time" companion. If he counts, I take Captain Jack Harkness. (again, I can only judge the latest three Doctors and their respective companions)
