Tough call, bud. During combat, eh?
Hmm.
I would take into account how effective they are overall (not at just barking the right orders, but also at getting folks to follow them, and keeping in mind that "in combat" often means random encounter/No prep)...
I suppose I would rank them as such:
1). Captain America
2). Batman
3). Black Panther
4). Spiderman
5). Deathstroke
Rational:
Cap can lead any team (even villains) at the drop of a hat, and they will tend to follow him. His charisma is so off the charts, that it's virtually a super power in itself. Leadership means nothing if you cannot garner the respect of your peers. Cap can. He's a soldier's commander, born and raised.
Batman is brilliant, but shines more in Prep than in Combat. This not to say he doesn't shine in combat. He does. Just not as bright as Cap. Bats is too dark. His charisma tanks where Cap's shines. Drop him into the middle of a mixed team dynamic, and his ability to truly lead would be tested, while Cap would feel right at home. That said, give Bats some prep and he owns.
Panther is somewhere between Cap and Bats, but lacks the Team Leadership Feats of either man.
Spiderman can lead when he chooses too. And be it as Pete or Octo, he's had a good deal of experience.
Deathstroke, I'm honestly not too sure of. I may be low balling him, and if so that is my bad for simply not knowing enough about his leadership skill set.

Lacks the team leadership??? T'Challa has been responsible for leading armies damn near his entire life.

I didn't say he lacks Leadership.
I said he lacks the Leadership Feats of the other two.
Feats- as in on-panel tactician Feats that occur during comic book encounters.
I'm not knocking Panther's ability to lead a country or a tribe.
I'm only saying that Steve and Bruce have more Feats with leading a Super Team with mixed individual personalities.
Country Leadership is very different than direct team combat leadership.
