Who would win in a fist fight?
Kirk, hands down Kirk. Yea seriously Kirk . . . by allot. I am not sure I have to go into detail here.
Who would win in a ship battle?
Picard, I think this would be quite a bit closer then Kirk's fistfight, but experience gets the checkmate.
Who would I rather work for?
Picard, he keeps more people alive, I like being alive. It is a nice fit.
Who would I rather chill out with?
Kirk, no disrespect to Picard but If I am going to hang out with a friend that friend would be Kirk, he is just more fun loving & he just has a cool attitude.
Who would I rather watch?
Picard, this last one was decided by thinking to my self if I wanted to watch a show tonight which would it be.
Overall: Picard 3/2

I am a Trekkie, though not a die hard one, and TNG really is my fave, for all the characters, except maybe Spock. There just is no other Spock.
Between Kirk and Picard, though, it's hardly a competition. And Cheapgamer I think you're wrong about the hand to hand combat. I think Picard can stomp Kirk's ass, in agility, cunning and level-headedness alone. That skinny 'old' man was sexy as hell and had the brains to back it up.
I remember being vaguely 'attracted' to Picard.
Then I watched Patrick Stewart in an interview... I was terribly disappointed. Just goes to show, he is a good actor...LOL

I like to think of this question like a recurring dream that open for interpretation.
@beast1oh1 - you created the answer right at the perfect time to get a great answer from @philipy.
There are few exceptions on mahalo for fun repeating questions, but with new people starting daily... this could become a great compilation question!
ah, I wasn't here in June. Didn't mean to repeat you, thought it would be a fun question
No harm in repeating questions now and then, esp timeless debates like Kirk v Picard. Looks like someone even made a page on the topic:

I won't answer again except to say... "what I said before". :)

Great list, but you really need to explain that the whole thing is a copy and paste. Here are the guidelines how we handle that sort of stuff here:

Kirk, to me seemed like a captain-who-should-have-stayed at the Academy. I do like the development of his character in the movies. At least he seemed to have grown up some.
While I like the original, I know why it took Picard to bring the Enterprise back to TV.
As for Star Fleet captains I also like Janeway. She was a strong captain put in an interesting situation.
I wish that Star Trek Enterprise had been able to have a longer run partially because Captain Archer was easy on the eyes and played so well by Scott Bacula.

He has the sexy british accent and drinks Earl Gray tea. He maintains his calm during crisis much better than Kirk ever did. Kirk led with his emotions, Picard with his brains. I choose brains over emotions any day for a starship!

I agree. I'd rather serve with Picard, and chill with Kirk. I'd also remember NOT to wear a red shirt if I were serving under Kirk. (Red shirt=dead).
You are all awesome, agreed no red shirt, yay green women! (if I was still single of course!), and yes that poster of Kirk is awesome!
Kirk's the captain who you'd want to chill with and pick up green women with in a bar.
I like your argument... and hereby honor you with a picture of Kirk.
(you can hang it up when you chill out with him so he doesn't feel bad that you picked Picard)
Hey, I just noticed you were nominated for AOTD! Someone beat me to it! :)
