I think Lebron/Wade has more of a chance of being a great rivalry, even though they don't play the same position. Almost impossible to have a good rivalry if you never meet in the playoffs, and chances of that for Lebron/Carmelo are slim. Wade and Lebron, on the other hand, have a pretty decent chance of meeting in the playoffs at least a couple of times over the next decade.
Also, they've already had some memorable regular season clashes (can think of at least 3 occasions on which at least one of them dropped 40 in a matchup):
