It varies decade to decade.

Like in the 70s, it was Spider-man, cap, Namor, fantastic 4, Thor, and Ironman with a dash of Dr. Strange. Then the 80s saw the rise of the X-Men, with the 90s being X-Men and Spider-man dominate with a dash of Blade. That tapered off slowly in the 2000s, and we're seeing a new rise in Avengers and spider-man is bouncing around. Eventually that'll taper off again, and X-Men will have a focus again or a different area will like the street level heroes or inhumans and GOTG.

It really depends on a lot of factors. Currently though, Avengers & SHIELD are the big thing. History shows us that these shifts in preferences for areas of the Marvel universe happen. One takes the limelight, then time goes on and people move on to a different area and repeat. It's also a strategy for marketing. You let one side take a breather while another side steps forward, so that you can keep switching them around to keep interest going in the brand as a whole.
