I love Picard, but he's too PC mambypamby to stand up to the boxin', drinkin', bellyshakin' Adama.
So it's Adama, but perhaps just because EJO was such a perfect piece of casting.

They had to feel so bad doing that
I'll have to go with Picard, but they are both fucking awesome. Picard is the classier leader though.
Senator Kinsey is an asshole, he got lucky with rescuing Picard.

It's Edward Jellico, bitches!

Lets compare Captains/Commanders/Admirals and their greatest achievements.
Captain Kirk
Greatest achievement - saving the entire Solar System in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. One of the men on his command had sex with the Voyager VI NASA probe and fixed everything.
Captain Picard
Greatest achievement - Saving the Federation from The Borg by fighting their control over him for long enough to tell Data how to blow up their cube. Incredible willpower.
Captain Sisko
Greatest moment: Punched Q in the face. Q never, ever returned to DS9.
Greatest achievement: Saved the entire universe by stopping the release of the Bajoran demons, who would have used their hellish powers to set it all in flames.
Commander Arnold J 'Ace' Rimmer
Greatest achievement: Defeating a planet of Nazis using only a crocodile and a rope.
Admiral William Adama
Greatest Achievement: Defeating the entire Cylon empire and making their race extinct with one ancient, underpowered, damaged museum ship.
Captain Janeway
Greatest Achievement: Destroyed any way the Q and the Borg can be taken seriously ever again, due to her ruining them forever.
Captain Xev Bellringer
Used her ship to destroy Hell because her friend was being punished there, and her undead-assassin-good-guy-uninterested-love-interest was trapped in its core with Satan. Her ship shortly after this destroyed Heaven, ending the universe's afterlife.
In terms of achievements, Sisko wins it for saving the entire universe.

This guy was a bloody good Captain. The Enterprise crew, Riker in particular, were absolutely pathetic when Jellico took over. Given what we saw of him on TNG, he must have been a legend in the Dominion War.
I'd seriously have loved a series set on his ship. Nearly as much as I'd love a Section 31 series.

Can Save Son From Klingons
Can't Save Son from Klingons
Stabbed Picard laughs at the comparison.
Archeologist, diplomat, philosopher, scientist, tactician. He does it all, baby. Oh, and he lived two lives.
He also didn't just leave the rest of humanity (to a horrific fate, mind you) to become a hermit for no discernable reason.

Adama was in the middle of retiring. And even still, he managed to escape and protect a civilian fleet with his junker.DrForester said:

Touche. I love the way this forum is going
You think Tyrol would've been anything close to competent without Adama on his ass?DrForester said:
Keep my planes flying. I need my planes to fly. Dismissed.
Sisko is a great commander, but we're talking about Adama vs some nancy. While Picard was doing battle with space salesmen, Adama was voting not guilty for the greatest war criminal in the history of mankind and telling everyone to deal with it.

Come on. He had the entire Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards at his disposal. Adama had a floating museum with a bunch of decommissioned Vipers and duct tape. LOLDrForester said:

Fact remains, he built his own ship.
And again, if Adama had done his job properly to begin with he never would have been in that situation.

Early seasons Picard was a lot more of a hardass than late seasons Picard. I miss that early, angrier Picard.
