well... the Sandman Lucifer (and everyone else's Lucifer up until about 1993) is the Lucifer Lucifer.

That interpretation of him is more as a former angel who has a duty to be the opposing force to good, though he himself is more of a neutral character. In his series, I believe he is portrayed as an anti-hero (but I've only encountered him tangentially).

... that's about all I can say.
