Gohan is more useful as a defensive unit for most situations.

Legendary Goku event, Gohan is far and away superior to Cell.

SBR, depends. Cell will be more useful on the first turn if he appears on first rotation. That's when his defense will be at its peak. But in SBR, I (personally) have found that you lose HP very fast and so while Cell will be great defensively on the first turn, there will still be a few times where his defense is a little lacking. It'll never be bad, but still a little lacking. Lr metal Cooler has a similar problem but Cell has an unconditional defense boost as well so he's obviously better than cooler defense wise. (and offense wise to, don't get me wrong.)

Gohan on the other hand starts with 100% defense which means he is still great defensively on first turn. The advantage Gohan has here is that he'll raise defense by a considerable amount every turn. He'll never almost never be in a situation where he'll be lacking in defense.

I'd take Gohan over Cell in SBR as well, but even still it's close. Point is Gohan, no matter how you look at it, is better than Cell. Offensively, maybe defense wise (even if Cell was better here, it wouldn't be by much), links. Gohan is just flat out better.
