WWSD? Sisko in the Delta Quad.

I dunno...if we're talking 1st-season Sisko, maybe. But Pale Moonlight Sisko? No way. Especially not if the Dominion War was starting to brew.
Though he MIGHT try to find a third solution, one where he could save the Ocampa AND harness the Caretaker array...

Maybe. Problem with characters like Sisko and Janeway, who appeared in 170 odd episodes each, written by lots of different writers is that they're not going to necessarily be 100% consistent. Based on what happened in Children of Time, I reckon Sisko might have done the same thing Janeway did, but who knows?
He would save the Ocampa and then have the Prophets send them all back. 
"The Sisko is....
stranded, marooned, abandoned, like Robinson Caruso as primitive as can be.....he must be brought...he is of Bajor....not of some minor planet far away......the Sisko MUST be brought back....then it is settled..."

Hmm.. tough call 
Janeway to some degree was like Picard, very ethical and moral. A lot of decisions Janeway made were based on the perceived rightness or wrongness of them.
People criticise Sisko for tricking the Romulans into the war, but this doesn't make him an ogre. I think Sisko, unlike Picard and to a lesser extent Janeway, is more willing to bend the rules, if the greater good is served. To his credit, Sisko saved the life of Omet'iklan, when he threatened to kill him, so he cannot be all bad.

With no Kasidy Yates and Seven looking like that? Sure he would've.
"I'll blow this place up and be home in time for Corn Flakes." - The Sisko about the Caretaker array.
Lol, thats funny
This is a good thread, I think Sisko would be more gun-ho. Especially if we consider the Sisko from the later series. Probably would ensure that his own crew were seen to first, I would probably do that actually.
Especially when considering that the Defiant class was purely a tactical vessel. Not really designed for long term deep space exploration. No holodecks, no quarters just cabins, limited sick bay etc.
Said Borg might have been severed from the Collective and kept more like Sharon Valerii in BsG, to be interrogated for intelligence but NOT allowed to participate in "society" in any way until REAL signs of humanity and remorse emerged.
Because once she felt that, then we would KNOW she was identifying with humanity again, and that she had made the decision to disavow the Borg agenda. Counseling would be a must once she was ready for it...and that would definitely be a sign she was. But until there could be certainty that she wasn't going to act as a sleeper agent aboard Voyager (a stunt she pulled on Janeway several times), you bet I wouldn't let her out of whatever cell she was in.
It would also degrade her character into "Oh boo-hoos I dun lots of bad stuff even though it wasn't really me and now I have to admit to being wrong over things that weren't my fault to kiss up to a nasty jerk bald guy or he'll kill me".
It would make for better development of Sisko if he was forced to confront HIS anger towards the Borg through Seven when he realizes he's unfairly being cruel to someone whose an even bigger victim of them than he was (the other side of the Picard affair) and someone whose been forced BY SISKO into an entirely different lifestyle she has the high probability of not surviving on her own.
