Your question highlights the main theme of The Great Gatsby: illusion and reality. The answer to your question is probably, neither. Or, it might be, both. The point is that there may not be a "real," and if there is, readers don't know what it is.
First, we know very little about Jimmy Gatz. We don't know that he was an all-American boy, we don't know he was a hard worker, etc. Whatever Gatsby reveals to Nick about his past could be illusion, as could be the list that his father shows Nick. Notice that the father doesn't talk about how rigidly his son ever followed the schedule, just that he wrote it. So we don't know much about Jimmy. Keeping to the rigid schedule on the list could have been fantasy.
Concerning Gatsby, everything revealed about him is a carefully created persona, completely designed to win Daisy back. The reader doesn't know what any "real" Gatsby might be like. Not only does Gatsby reveal only his persona, but everything we get is filtered through Nick's eyes.
In addition to all this, Gatsby's dream of recapturing the past is illusion: Daisy never loved him in the same, all-encompassing way that he loves her.
Illusion dominates the play, and there's no way of knowing what any "real" Gatsby or Gatz might be like.
