Liefeld
KYost
Remender
Humphries
Hopeless
Spurrier
Kyle Yost was the best for me. It was pretty much everything I wanted in an XForce book.
I think for me it's a toss up between the Clayton Crain lineup of Warparth,Angel,Domino,X23,Vanisher,Wolverine in around 2008 to 2009 that battled Selene and Bastion and the 2010 team of Wolverine,Psyloche,Angel,Deadpool and Fantomex that began in 2010 with Jerome Opena and Dean White.The former had a better story,the latter had better art. I still feel like this X force is not complete.Domino,Logan,Quentin are the only field operatives with Sage and Beast always on Krakoa.Im sure they'll add Colossus(but something is off about him) I would have preferred they recruit Mercury ,I always saw her abilities as a living weapon tailor made for Xforce.With Krakoan gates ,teleporters not really needed but a speedster like Quicksilver/Surge wouldn't hurt. Maybe this is leftfield but Shinobi Shaw's power set also screams Xforce to me.So my team in this Krakoan nation would be Wolverine,Domino,Kid Omega,Mercury, Quicksilver/Surge(one not both) and Shinobi Shaw

No contest: Liefeld's X-Force is the best.
I have seen those pages from X-Men Sketchbook but they weren't appealing to me as Leinil Yu's.

Poll is missing some runs.
I forgot these guys became X-Force for a time. I think I preferred them as X-Statix. That should be Niceza w/ Rob in the poll since he was the co-writer before completely taking over and rather quickly.
Its a toss up between Fabiens and Johns (as in Francis Moore). Perhaps the latter a bit more. Loved the road-tripping and the art. The art! Adam Pollina was a feast for the eyes.
I stopped reading the X-Books in 2006 so the bottom paragraph is partly to do with whats changed when I left.
I haven't read all K/Y or Remender yet, just a handful. But reading about the whole approach, poor ultra-violent saviors , ultra - killers "having" to kill because the others can't is a bit of a turn-off. Especially when they are seen as enjoying it. That's just so pathetic to me. I was so used to reading books like Punisher where he doesn't whine. Its all just so narcissistic. That may sound harsh... I dunno... From the little bit I actually read Remender is a good writer subtracting that. His dialogue is good and so are his beats and the story appeared interesting. Kyle/ Yost uhhh probably won't go near it because of one particular part that scared me away, lol, just... no. I only have a couple of those issues.
