Hoshi did have the ability to be a great character, hell even Mayweather could have been great if given half a chance.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

It would be nice to see if the original poll was multiple choice for each position, or if it was wide open. However, keeping with the original positions:

Captain: Kirk (original) - You just can't beat that swager!
1st Officer: Riker - Original Kirk and Riker on shore leave...
Engineer: Scotty - Even his appearance on TNG was amazing.
Doctor: EMH w/mobile emiter - Just better
Security: Warf - Odo is too one-dimentional
Communications: Sato - Probably the easiest pick of all of these
Helmsman: Jadzia - I wouldn't have put her in that position, but apparently the original poll did.
Wildcard: Data - Computer knowledge and though speed, sensors, strength, etc.

I dunno... on the rare occasions when they did give him something to do, watching that guy trying to act was a pretty painful experience.

Ways that Enterprise could have been better, Number 7 - have a policy to kill off an average of one main character per season. Start with Mayweather. Then Reed and Tucker.

Kill off Reed and you'd have to kill off all the rest of them the next episode to keep even a semblance of SoD. He was the only thing keeping Enterprise from being destroyed through the incompetence of the rest of the crew.

Remember Worf was like that too. But then again Worf got his ass handed to him. So maybe the DS9 version.

Wild Card with Data and Spock on the same team would be cheating.

My abiding memories of Reed are Chuck's review of whatever the one in the Vulcan monastery was called, when he was commanding Enterprise and reacting calmly and professionally to the situation while Archer was getting the shit kicked out of him, and of him equally calmly and professionally guiding said Captain Calamity through how to disarm a Romulan mine.

My abiding memory of Worf is of him losing the E-D to a bunch of Ferengi.

The former might be one of Reed's (many) highlights while the latter was Worf's nadir, but I'm sure you can see my point

Oh I see your point. Maybe someone should do an in depth analysis of Reed to see if he truly lives up to the 'hype'. Same goes for Worf. When I think of Worf is that many types he warns Picard of exactly what goes wrong in the episode. If Picard takes up on World's warnings TBG would have been a thirty minute show.

Helmsman: Sulu.

Who would be the Wildcard besides Data anyway? Think about that. He is the ultimate wild card.

Now I think of it, I replace Data with 7, both have been unbalanced at times, but she has much more knowledge, equal mental capacity if less physical, but much more eye candy.

On my list I might replace Warf with 7 in the security roll is she would apply there.

We forgot about the eye candy position.

Captain: Sisko or Picard. I really can't decide between them.
XO: Riker by a huge margin.
Science: Spock, obviously.
Tactical: Reed.
Security: Odo.
Doctor: EMH (mobile)
Communications: Sato.
Helmsman: Difficult. My instinct says to go for Sulu, but as much as I detest Paris he did demonstrate pretty good aptitude on multiple occasions.
Wild card: 7 of 9.
