Stephen Wise was actually in a position to actually do something (He was one of the few jews who had access to Roosevelt) , unlike most people who really were powerless, even among the Reform his legacy was tainted for his inaction.
Hertzel is not the same as someone who tried to get Rav Shach to leave the Beis Medrash. Its unlikley there would be much torah learning in Israel without him (Even if he didnt intend it to be that way), While todays Israel is not what he probably intended he did plant the seed and put it on the political map (Getting it on the required help from Foreign governments)
