In the eyes of the public, Artemis II will be more significant because there were people on board. And, from a human-centric perspective it was a great achievement in *human* spaceflight. From an engineering perspective, Artemis II was undoubtedly a great achievement but the technology and mission architecture it demonstrated was largely quite old, expensive and somewhat inefficient. It probably won't be relevant long into the future. Starship achieving full reusability is, as SpaceX says, the holy grail of rocketry and will create another seismic shift in the space industry like Falcon 9 did. Also, reusability is very important to Starship's role in Artemis. I can see both perspectives but from my personal hardware-based interest in spaceflight I'm going to have to agree with Ship catch being more significant.
