I want to like Picard best, by which I mean: I think Picard was the best and most moral captain*, but I’m not from a post scarcity society, and I’m still a little rough around the edges. I like sisko better, because he’s not constantly gracious, he gets mad, he allows a little terrorism as a treat, and he can live with it, he can live with it.
He did almost gas that world though…
watching Picard just continuously make the right choice actively influenced my own ethical decision making process, and I’ll always be grateful to have an internal Jean-Luc. I hope one day I’ll live in a world where I can only channel him and not sisko.
Now that you say that, he might have gassed it as the final move in a game of chicken and it was just a twist of moral luck that saved him from genociding a planet.
He’s by far my favourite captain.
I like the others too, but he is the best to me.

I thought he did gas that world, it’s been a few years though.
I like Sisko too, he had to deal with problems we never saw Picard really struggle against. I personally find Picard my favourite.
Absolutely a valid choice :)
