I would guess the Mormons are more successful, and more widely know. WP lists 14mio Mormons and 6million Baha'i, but i would expect both groups to inflate their numbers.

The Baha'i do not actively proselytize though. They do more indirect advertising by dance workshops and discussion events.

I expect that the Mormons are more widely known in the US and the Bahai'i are more widely known in the middle east.
