This is a no brainer... Just look at their response to Q.

Picard: Leave me alone or I'll say it louder!

Sisko: /punch to the face

If Picard had been in charge of Deep Space Nine, he would never have allowed Garak to assassinate the Romulan ambassador, and thus the Romulans would never have entered the Klingon/Federation alliance to fight the Dominion, and thus the entire Alpha Quadrant would have come under the heel of the Dominion.

When Q offered Picard anything he wanted, Picard chose to get his heart back (his physical one, but really his psychological one). It led to a future where he became a halfway decent ensign, not a captain.

And speaking of Q... when Sisko met him, Q challenged him to a Queensberry Rules boxing match. After some harassment, Sisko punched Q right in the face, knocking him down. Q, shocked, said "Picard never hit me!" Sisko replied, "I'm not Picard."

Sisko was SO much better.

Yeah, much as I like the big P, Sisko was hard.

I went with Sisko because he'd had more of a "life" in some respects than Picard. It was clear that Picard always wanted a family life, but never did what it took to get one. In general I think Sisko's experience of being married, losing a wife, and raising a kid, partially as a single parent are likely to have made him a more well-rounded captain. God knows raising a two-year old made him more effective in dealing with Q...
