Cable for me.
To me Cable is X-Force. So I would like him as leader way more than Wolverine.
I must admit I liked the team feel of the times Logan was leader, so if I was going to write a comic and I could choose the cast, I would do a mixture between the two teams;
Cable
Psylocke
Warpath
Vanisher
Shatterstar
Elixir
Domino
Archangel
Yeah it's that good, the book was so far ahead of its time that's not even funny. The serie had everything going for it, complex characters, love drama, good social commentary, a diverse cast of characters and top notch humour. Also any character could die at any time so nothing was predictable.
The serie was making fun of celebrity, the rise of reality television at the time and how the media was basically helping to increase the depravity of most of these new reality shows and the idolization of these new stars who didn't have any moral values. Every character in this book is broken one way or another and despite their terrible behavior Milligan make you care about them so when one of them die it's always a big deal.
The art by Allred and Cooke is just astounding, it make everything look so colorful and completely matched the subversive tone of the serie.
Milligan can be hit and miss, his X-Men run sucks but X-Force/X-Statix might be his best work with Enigma and Shade the Changing Man and it might be the best X-Men spinoff serie I've ever read.
I was surprised when I saw one character from this serie appeared in the recent Deadpool movie lol.

I feel like they're two very different iterations of X-Force and I don't know if I can choose for that reason.
Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!

Cable has always been excellent at leading, his tactics are soo good sometimes,though, there's a thing that he was bit distant to his teammates, didn't knew how to support his team emotionally sometimes. But RAISING HOPE changed that, it changed a lot of things. IMO, Cable is better now.
Cable, because I don't think Logan should lead any team. He's barely a team player, let alone someone you should follow. At least in my opinion.
Cable hands down. When Wolverine was in charge he was either a) taking orders from Cyclops (Kyle/Yost) or b) leading his team into one fustercluck after another (Remender). It's pretty bad when you're running a team that depends on Deadpool to be it's moral compass.
I'll only accept Wolverine as X-Force if he shoved Bo, Molly Hayes and Honey Badger on a team with Mystique, Sabertooth, Deathstrike and Omega Red.
Then we can rehash the hypocrisy
