I don't think he was either. He was just lucky, when you think about it. He was trying to find India, after all.
But if I had to pick one of your choices, I'd say villain because not only did he decimate the native populations by extreme subjugation, but he also applied a policy of brutal violence towards them. He also brought a drastic change upon the ecosystem of Hispaniola. When he landed, Columbus opened a gateway for other Europeans to come, who in turn brought diseases which eventually wiped out both people and cultures.
Therefore, if I was only given those two options, I would say that Columbus was a villain; otherwise, he was neither- just one more lucky explorer.
You can't have an epic battle between the forces of Good and the forces of Really Nice...
