Prizefight: Kirk vs Picard
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

But I will go with Picard. Here are some of the reasons...
1) Kirk can be rather irritating in his praises of the wonders of human beings. Did Spock really appreciate the funeral eulogy in which Kirk said that of all the souls he'd encountered on his travels, Spock's was "the most human"? Kirk is too gung-ho and human-centric, Picard has a fine appreciation of other species as well as humanity.
2) We got a lot more of Picard. There were so many episodes that he's like an old friend. Hard luck Captain Kirk, they cancelled your series too soon.
3) Although Kirk gets to kiss a woman every other episode, Picard has the best girlfriend. Vash. What more need one say?
4) I'm not entirely convinced that inter-planetary disputes can be so easily solved with fisticuffs. I prefer Captain Picard's thoughtful approach.
5) Picard is the richer character, Kirk is a bit more one-dimensional. We get to see many sides of Picard through episodes like the The Inner Light. It's not Captain Kirk's fault, but his storylines weren't so varied, and he didn't get to show us the same range and depths of feeling.
In conclusion:

Like many characters that are played with multiple actors... the role itself grows and changes. Nothing is ever stagnant.
(I graduated from the William Shatner School of Overacting, but plan on doing my Grad studies at the Picard Inst.) You can't have one without the other.
At the recent BAFTA, the presenters for one of the awards were introduced as:
"Two of our finest Shakespearean actors, who are currently starring in Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett. But you know them as Gandalf, and that bloke from Star Trek."
Take a bow Sir Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart. :)
