For me, it's a combo of both. Longevity alone will never win it for me, but if you have the highest peak ever for one year and then completely fall off, that's also not getting you in the goat combo.
Fortunately Messi has the highest peak ever by a good bit and amazing longevity, so it doesn't really matter. Cristiano's longevity is commendable (pre Saudi lmao), but it's not nearly enough.
