If we go with that, all it tells us is who appeared first. You're probably right about expanding it to all DCU books, though. Crossovers are more frequent in the last 20-30 years than they were during the Silver or Bronze Age, and Barry and Wally were each more or less continually in one Justice League book or another (barring the first 2 years of Wally's solo book), so in terms of <em>total</em> page count, Wally would probably win. The <i>Justice League</i> cartoon would clinch it.

Wally might be more prominent as a member of the Flash family. If we consider non-Flash books, such as Justice League, Justice League Elite, crossovers, etc. As well as other media such as the Timm cartoons, there's an argument for Wally being THE Flash for more people across more mediums as well.
