Superman and Batman tie it for me. Brushing past the cynicism that is associated with both character's popular depictions of late both characters represent the pinnacle of human goodness and human achievement respectively. Superman is one of the most humble Superheroes but he's also one of the most powerful. I like the Batman quote about him:
"Flying in the sky shooting fire from his eyes its hard not to think of Clark as a God. How fortunate for all of us the thought has never occurred to him."

Not really. Look at the Nolan series. That's the closest anyone has ever come to a realistic superhero and you see that even though Batman isn't nearly as effective or epic as he is in comics he can still do some good. And you have to admire the fact that its within the realm of possibility (somewhat) that a real Batman could exist.
EDIT: By morls ethics etc Spider-man also comes to mind but he's also to uneffective IMO
Personally or in greatest good kind of thing?
Personally, Tony Stark. He's the kind of superhero i would want as a friend. Billionaire playboy who buys entire states' a drink. The amount of tail i could get by just being next to him is astounding.
Greatest good?
No Idea.
Maybe batman. He'd stay small scale. Wouldn't want someone who aims too high. Don't plan on revoking term limits so Thor can be president of the world for life.
With great power comes great danger
I'd appreciate one of the Earth Green Lanterns the most. Despite the fact they wield one of the most powerful weapons in the universe on their finger, they have the humanity to be able to relate to the people they're trying to save. Not only that, but if Earth is attacked by an invading cosmic horde, a GL can call in for backup from the rest of the Corps.
