I'm betting my coins on Midtown being the better pedestrian experience. Lower Buckhead (the Village area) side streets do have less lanes and sidewalks conducive to walking, but the Peachtree spine and all side streets become parking lots during rush hour.
Upper Buckhead (north of Piedmont and the Mall area) is definitely a pedestrian's worst nightmare at any given hour of the day.
In Midtown, the southern half is rapidly becoming one of the most walkable areas in the city. Narrow streets, wide sidewalks with active uses for blocks. The area around the Midtown station is very enjoyable.
