I would rather just say that Kirito has the "hands down" for the majority of the SAO fanbase; this includes me.

If I were to choose someone other than Kirito, I would have to say Kayaba. Not only did he raise a guild with the charisma he has, he pulls off one hell of a deus ex machina in the second arc. And that Sogou obliteration just showed how us Asuna-fans hated Sogou (no doubt about that).
