Círdan, definitely Círdan.
I am generally not overly fond of the Sindar, and Thingol is probably my least favourite character in the entire Legendarium. Similarly Celeborn and Thranduil exhibit the kind of arrogance that borders on stupidity (I'm personally convinced that they call Celeborn 'the Wise' sarcastically), and they seem to have no social talents or tact to speak of.
Círdan, on the other hand, has been able to keep track on the big picture of what's going on in Middle-earth, and react accordingly. He's pretty much the one who has kept the elven act together while High Kings have risen and fallen. We don't hear about him as much, but he's still there, working in the shadows. He's awesome.
Plus he builds ships. Awesome.
