Cloud was seriously a sucky leader....Barret was too impulsive, Tifa too lenient, following everything, Aeris always getting kidnapped and in trouble, Red XII's an animal, Yuffie's a thieving swine, Cait Sith's...well, a stuffed toy, Vincent is some messed up experiment with mood problems, and Cid is a bad-tempered not-giving-a--bout-nothing kinda guy.....
So as leaders they all basically suck. I would have taken Cid out of all of them. At least his nickname was "captain" for a start!
