Dagger is a pisspoor choice in the long run. She's friends with us, but she doesn't really have any particular virtues as a leader; she is a grandchild of the empress, rather than the direct leader. It will be immediately evident that we picked her merely to have influence over the government.
Right now, the best choice is Rapier. He agrees with our politics is most closely related to a good friend of ours, and is likely to be a good leader to the nation. On the other hand, it seems to me that it's poor foresight to choose someone for such a long-lived race based on such immediate concerns. In particular, the fact that he's listed as "expansionist" seems to bode poorly.
Stiletto has been largely discounted due to being a partier, but with such varied and competent second-in-commands a loose hand may well be the type of rule that the nation will do best under. If he has the mettle to unify the siblings in times when unity is necessary, then he is arguably the best choice in the long run. Considering our own interests, he is unlikely to be interested in unprovoked military action in the future, and at this particular point in time, he's liable to let Rapier handle the Skullking issue, if we encourage him to do so. Regardless, we'll need to talk with him before making a decision.
If we wanted to strike a balance, for the future of the nation, Halberd would be a good choice. It seems to me, however, that she's inferior to both Stiletto and Rapier, both in how her ruling style will effect politics, and in respect to our own self-interest.
