Picard,- love the more level headed diplomat/scholar (occasional badass when needed)
Sisko- he punched Q!
Kirk- gotta respect the classic
Pike- I liked Bruce Greenwood's portrayal & think this character could really go somewhere given decent writing
 
My personal favorite as a character is Janeway followed by Sisko, then Kirk. But STD solidified Pike as the best captain in my mind. Any and all of the captains we met are able to sacrifice their lives for the greater good at any time; but only Pike was able to accept a fate worse than death, in the line of duty.
 
Poor Archer, near the bottom again. Sure he made a few mistakes and he was kind of a goof, but remember that he had to figure it all out on his own.
 
I'm adding him to the list.

Archer was angry at the Vulcans because they held back information that would have allowed his father to build better warp engines sooner.
So, he runs off, half-cocked, just to prove to them humanity is capable only to stumble at every turn. Got it. Archer's decision to do this himself was all on him.
 
I mean…Archer did save Earth when Kirk’s Grandfather was in diapers. So that’s gotta count for something.

I do wonder if recency bias is pumping up Pike’s numbers a bit.
