Oh I've got a few reasons I can list.
1. Constantine has an ability known as "Synchronicity Wave Travelling" that allows for John to alter the cosmos to change his luck to his advantage.
Whenever he needs the right person to come along or the right item he needs for the situation, he can manipulate the cosmos for it to benefit him.
And no one is immune to this power, not mortals, not demons, not even Kryptonians are immune to this power.
2. While Ash has certainly had his run in with magic and has mostly just bumbled with it, Constantine is a pro at using it. From illusion magic to summoning magic to exorcism to mind-wiping to force field casting...yeah, in terms of magical output, Constantine has more under his belt.
3. Ash's best accomplishments have, let's be honest, just been done through sheer dumb luck, Constantine's accomplishments were pre-planned well in advance or planned throughout. One of Constantine's most famous moments involved duping the Devil into drinking holy water magically turned into stout, followed by Constantine, dying of lung cancer at the time, made a deal with two other demon lords of the time, without telling the other about the deal. John slashed his wrist while the Devil popped in to watch Constantine die to claim his soul, until the other two showed up to claim John, which prompted an argument between the three as John put before the three this conundrum he intentionally put them through:
-They could negotiate which one would claim Constantine, which John knew they never would because his soul was of such high value to each of them.
-They could fight it out with their armies and wage a war in hell over Constantine, which would only leave Hell exposed to the forces of Heaven to come in and decimate all of hell.
-They could cure Constantine of his lung cancer and let him be on his merry way to prevent all of this from happening.
So they chose the third option, though they made sure it hurt.
Course John still managed to flip the Devil the bird before walking off.
So yeah...John Constantine's a whole other class above Ash Williams.
