O’Brien can out-do Scotty in a combat situation, because he’s not only got the skill and the British Colonial Charm, but he’s a battle-hardened veteran of two brutal wars and knows how to apply his engineering skills on the battlefield.

I tend to agree, yet one of my favorite scenes is Scotty in command standing beside the Captain’s chair, faceing off a Klingon warship. “Let’s see if he has the belly for it.”
Friday’s Child?

Er… how does that work, exactly? Sort of like Sir Robin and his favorite minstrel?
"I had to kill him, Captain; honor demanded it. He wrote the epic poem " ‘Rime of the Security Chief Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight.’ "

They are so awed at his warrior prowess in battle, that they compose the poems as he is killing them in battle.
As a cite, I suggest you go find “The Ballad Of The Great Warrior of Uuuuhhhhh…”, available wherever quality Klingon audiobooks are sold.
Erm … you’re not a lady, young or old, are you? 'Cause according to most of the women I know, including myself, Picard doesn’t need to flirt. He just needs to open his mouth and say something. Anything. The alphabet, technobabble, the recipe for fried Targ, doesn’t matter. And if he busts out the Shakespeare, oh man. Those twinkling eyes, the commanding presence, the silk Captain’s Pajamas, and the naked torture scenes that show off some mighty nice carved arms… Dude is sex on a stick, way moreso than Kirk, for all the latter’s ripped velour shirts and the 23rd century’s version of hair plugs for men.

The Alphabet, you say? 
Oh dear lord, I totally forgot about that hilarious video when I wrote that! Yet my subconscious must’ve remembered the utter adorableness of it. Thank you, thank you, for reminding me. What a good sport Patrick Stewart is!

I’ve seen that before, and damned if it isn’t funny, but I get the feeling from watching it that he’s singing to Worf. :smack:

Tiz a line from this one
If you’re interested in the concept, check out the SG1 episode “Revisions”
ETA: And on the OP’s question, Picard of course.
Picard is the Matador, Kirk is the bull.

Ah, that explains it. Worf really is a remarkable warrior then. I believe that most Klingons prefer to face foes who fight back during battle.
Still, this probably accounts for Worf’s famous victory over the entire Bajoran Men’s Chorus.
“Worf went to the Tralfamadore Jazz Festival… there were no survivors.”
All together now! You know the words… MOOO-LAAARRRR…

Data and Spock would try to outlogic each other, then sit down for a relaxing 85 hour game of 3D Chess or Strategema.

Actually that would be 20. apparently I still have a few years to go until I learn basic arithmetic.

He mocks the lawgivers!
Kirk wins easily.
Having cunningly secreted a couple of Tribbles about his person he waits until Picard is off guard and then he rams the annoying little bastards up Jean Lucs arse.
Before you know it…kaboom!! arse explodes and Picard is no more and the universe is covered with brightly coloured dust bunnies and bits of a Star Fleet captain
…on the other hand if Picard manages to enlist the help of “Q”…

It’s an episode of a television series. One that I only saw in reruns a decade after they originally aired.
