There's pros and cons of most of them, Connery had the longevity and the role will always really be his though since he was the first. Lazenby could have done ok but he only had the one film, David Niven doesn't count as that was just a travesty. Roger Moore and his eyebrows were a product of some very poor scripts and general late 70's tastelessness. Dalton and Brosnan both breathed fresh life into the series although personally I don't really rate either of them too much. I think that given time Daniel Craig will prove to be the best all round Bond in terms of closeness to the original Fleming characters, problem is that they've effectively run out of original Fleming storylines so seeing Craig being a true Bond relies on non-Fleming input.
