Mirage. There are several hints throughout the series that Mike is a real calming force for Raph, and he's very protective of him. It's been a pretty consistant trait from the first few issues all the way up to recent stories.
Their relationship in the 4Kids cartoon takes its cue from the comics at first, but quickly devolves into "Mike makes fun of Raph, Raph hits Mike." Not to mention that those particular versions of Mike and Raph are probably my least favorite, with their over-the-top "I have ADD!" and "Everything makes me angry!" personalities.
They don't appear to have any kind of special relationship in the old cartoon.

Raph annoys me with his constant "I'm tough I don't like what we're doing" attitude in most of the mediums. So I voted Mirage because although he did do that there, he and Mikey have a decent relationship and he's not abusive.

I agree with you about most versions of Raph, but he's really not too irritating in the comics. After "Sons of the Silent Age," he's pretty much calmed down and accepted his lot. There's some Leo/Raph tension in "City at War," but everything the Turtles knew was changing at that point.
