Can I compare Bitstamp and Kraken deposit and withdrawal networks?

Only partly. The radar has no network facts for Kraken. Their public APIs do not expose per-chain rails without an account, so this means "not collected", not "unsupported".

Is this a ranking of Bitstamp versus Kraken?

No. This page places the public catalogs of Bitstamp and Kraken side by side (markets, supported assets, and fiat). It does not cover fees, security, regulation or which exchange to use, and it does not pick a winner.
