These are my 10 personal favorites...
Erwin Rommel
Robert E. Lee
George Patton
Claire L. Chennault
Gauis Julius Caesar
Ernst Udet
Manfred von Richthofen
Erich Topp
Alexander the Great
Adolf Galland
In no order. I left plenty off the list that should be on it but these are more 'my favorites' than who is the best. Though I feel each person on the list was one of the greatest in their fields - whether it be tactical skill, leadership, morale boosting..etc
-
BG David Grange (may not have heard of him but I would have charged hell with a bucket of water for him)
Gen Patton
Gen Chesty Puller
Gen Erwin Rommel
Gen Yamamoto (cannot spell his first name)
BG Grange commanded the 1st Infantry Division in 1999 and had the audacity to tell then president Clinton the truth that we were not prepared to fight a war, being a police force fine, but a war, no. Took guts to do that and they canned him for it. <S> BG Grange, best Divisional Commander I have ever seen (a long the lines of Gen Gary Luck for those who served under him).

Admiral Adama
Captain Picard
Captain Henry J. Gloval
Yoda
Ellen Ripley (hot!)

No mention of Lord Nelson?
"Never mind the manouvers...straight at 'em!"
his ship, the Victory was so badly damaged it had to be towed back to England, just saying.
on topic, by what criteria do you judge a top leader?
-
Lorne Greene or Edward James Olmos ?
He's gotta mean the character portrayed by Olmos, but for that matter Eddy could almost be listed IRL too.

That is because his ship faced the full fury of the combined fleet on the approach as his was the lead ship and the first to break the line.
Leading from the front is my criteria. We'll never know yours I guess, but I suspect the leading criteria for you would be "American".
Sorry Furby...didn't notice your mention of Nelson. :)

I am curious as to why so many people choose Julius Caesar over Augustus?
JC did a brilliant job sorting the Gauls out, but from what i understand (i am no expert), on the whole it was Augustus who set the foundations of the Roman Empire and managed to balance the support of the senate and people.
On another note, who are your worst leaders in history? I find this much more difficult, a few i can think of off the top of my head: -
Mussolini
Nero
Nixon
Pol Pot
Charles I
