Janeway, Sisko, and Archer don't even make my list--I just wasn't impressed by them. I have Picard at the top and Kirk behind him, then some other Captains filling out the rest of the top 5. http://kooztop5.blogspot.com/2011/12/top-5-starfl...

Their mission is exploration though, not MILITARY.

Janeway was way ahead of all beside Jean-Luc Picard, not only was she the first female captain she was one hell personality for the trek family a women who stuck by her morals no matter what and for those that think she was weak or don't like her cause she had so many chances to get her crew home well we all saw what happen to the crew of the Equinox that did anything to get home, she took the book from Picard on the borg and rewritten it completely. The show was the best in many years and I for one enjoy it from start to end Janeway really did carry that show you always knew where she stood and the women was no push over(beside the Doc but hey he wasn't human and put up with it cause he was like more of a child in her eyes and children have to learn the hard way sometime).

Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation starship Voyager!
Best captain, best cast/actors, best stories, best writing, best opening-theme music, best-looking ship, most realistic-looking ship and effects, most relate-able, most exciting, most likeable, simply the BEST that has ever come out of Star Trek so far.

1. Sisko (for bringing the Romulans into the Dominion War)
2. Picard (for his professionalism)
3. Janeaway (for being a sexy cat woman)
4. Kirk (for breaking all the rules)
5. Archer (for having a crappy series)
6. Sulu (for his calm low voice)
7. Pike (for his ventriloquist abilities)

I am watching DS9 (second season) and Enterprise (first season) now, so I don't have the complete picture yet.
Anyway, I already like Archer very much, he is more of a friend than a captain, and I'd rather serve under him.
Sisko, too soon, I really have to watch more, but they put him in an awkward position.
Kirk, I agree with most here, he is a cowboy and a womaniser, not nice for a starship captain.
Picard, probably perfect: an accomplished diplomat, a scholar, but also a friend, a strategist, somebody who listens…
Janeway: did anybody else notice that she is neurotic at times? Some days she is in a bad mood, she overreacts, "This is my ship and I decide what to do", like she say to her future self, even if she outranks her and is obviously a lot more experienced. Clearly, Janeway is not one of my favourites.

Starfleet is absolutely as much a peacekeeping & military armada as anything. The primary mission of the enterprise is one of exploration, but Starfleet is involved in countless military operations. They have a military structure, and military power. They have engaged in several wars, cold and hot.

damn straight, PVW.

Kirk was the man. He man-handled Klingons, out-witted Romulans, and talked mechanized beings into destroying themselves.

Picard was the one always saved by his crew. He was entirely a diplomat, not a captain.

When Sisko and the UFP let the Cardassians arrest and try chief O'Brien, that was the most pathetic thing I'd ever seen. That would not have happened on Kirk's watch.

Kirk – Solved MANY problems solo or with limited help, I don't know where this "everyone else constantly saved Kirk's but" crap comes from. If you need someone to win a gladiator match, talk down a psycho robot with logic, outwit an omnipotent enemy, outwit a non-omnipotent enemy, outwit a mad scientist, outfight a geneticly enhanced superman or any number of androids, take responsibility for your mess (and clean it up)… Kirk's always your goto guy. He let his underlings shine when their specialty was called for but he had no problem filling in for any (or all) when the situation called for it.
Picard – Well intentioned, dignified, cool, fair and capable of being rutheless when the need arises or when he's being mind-controlled into wiping out a federation fleet (good luck trying to get Kirk to do that)
Archer – He was clever when he had to be.
Janeway – Just becauses Janeway had an arguably harder job doesn't make her better – she rarely solved problems by being clever.
Sisko – Someone has to be last. He wasn't bad but he lost a lot of his spirit in the last few seasons and he was a little too pre-occupied with religion and his family/son.
