To summarize discussions of well over a year ago with Mixdorf and one just this morning with Cory; of all the people I know, I would trust Sharon to go into the very shadow of Mordor (where the shadows lie), bearing the ring. To her, alone, I would entrust the task of carrying the ring up the mountain and casting it into the fire.
But I would not want her as captain of my starship.

Faith would make a better Star Ship captain than a ring bearer, though she may be better in a more selective job on a starship.
Sarah would be best served to run the ship's operations. She would be good at getting the things in position to be used efficiantly and effectively.
I'll actually choose Mixdorf to captain my ship.
I'd be a better King of Men in old Middle Earth, where understanding of 3-dimensional navigation and matter-antimatter ratios wouldn't be required.
I don't think the details of 3d navigating are important to the starship captain, just the theory and limitations. Ditto for matter-anti matter ratios.
For both of these tasks he has navigators/engineers and of course that sexy computer.
I don't know, man...there's plenty of times, in the heat of battle or that narrow, last 30 seconds before a warp core breach when the captain has to give a very specific heading or perform any one of a number of critical bridge or engineering functions. I think STNG, at least, showed that a captain could pretty much, theoretically, fly the ship by himself/herself.
The matter-anti matter ratio is ALWAYS 1-1!!! You guys would have annihilated the Enterprise.
No I wouldn't have. But you'd have needed an entire security detail to pull my greasy palms out of the holodeck.
