Neither. Gideon was one of the judges of Israel. His story is found in Judges chapters 6-8.
Further, Major and Minor Prophets refer to the length of the prophetic books found in the Christian Old Testament. It does not refer to the importance of the prophet or the importance of their writings. In fact, it doesn't refer to the person at all; only to the book.
Gideon was not a major prophet at all.
Major prophets are just longer books. Minor prophet means that the book is shorter.
Major Prophets have more chapters in the books of inspired, canonical sacred Scripture that bear their respective names. Each Minor Prophet has fewer chapters in his book that any Major Prophet has. Isaiah, for example, was a Major Prophet, whereas Micah was a Minor Prophet. The Major Prophets were Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel; the other twelve were Minor Prophets. (Daniel, Baruch, and Lamentations fit in neither category.)

I believe you mean a major prophet. Whether a prophet is "major" or "minor" has to deal with the amount of writing they produced. Major prophets (like Isaiah or Jeremiah) wrote a lot, whereas minor prophets (like Baruch and others) wrote very little. It has nothing to do with how much work or how much good the prophet did.
