This one is kinda up in the air for me but I think that the best one is Rafiq, so I'll vote for him.

I haven't ever been too impressed by many of the Bant generals - it's basically just U/X good stuff decks. Which is fine, but the generals themselves seemed rather arbitrary aside from colors.
That being said, I'll go with Rubinia Soulsinger, actually, as my favorite for a multiplayer table - in no small part because she actually does something relevant, which only Angus and the Hippo for general damage can match. My experiences with ol' Angus usually end up with people shoving Eldrazi in his face as the player desperately hunts for answers. It made for an incredibly amusing game, and is the sort of thing fog players should be subjected to on a regular basis.
Rafiq is my vote still. Yes he'll draw hate, but you play colors that can protect him easily. I like Bant because it has great draw, creature/utility fetch and all kindsa of janky protection schemes.
Phelddagrif for sure. As group hug, he can be a heck of a lot of fun to play, and group hug DOESN'T have to mean chaos. In addition, I've also used him as a Voltron general, and he's not too shabby at that either, coming out fairly quickly and dodging all kinds of removal with his bounce ability.
Rafiq just sets off too many warning bells in this area, and Jenara just never seems to stay in play enough. I've never seen Angus played, though. Yet I still feel confident in voting for the hippo.

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Once tried to build a (non-online) deck for every commander in Magic. Didn't work, but left me with far more commander decks than listable. Support non-optimized trash fun commanders!
This is a tough one for me, Angus or Pheldagriff? It's kind of a coin flip, I'll go with Angus because he is more fun for me to pilot and I skipped 200 consecutive turns with him with 4 opponents remaining once and still won. That's got to be worth something.
Jenara. If you guys are thinking she's a voltron general, that's probably why she doesn't look all that great. She's not a voltron general. She gets big by herself, why would you run equipment to buff her up?
Rafiq is too general reliant if you want to build him properly. I see too many times people just playing a really, really bad deck once Rafiq is neutered, which isn't that hard considering he can't protect himself.
Pheldy is cute, but that's about it. I've never seen him or Angus ever amount to anything useful in a game. Rubinea is just an expensive Merieke.
As a connoisseur of fun, interesting matches, I still to this day have not been able to craft that "perfect deck"; the deck that I can play and have fun over time, doesn't get boring, but simultaneously is fun to play against. I honestly don't think it exists. It's like a unicorn. A ninja unicorn.
I believe that I have enough social competence to slip into a party or two, potentially wooing some attractive females that would not mind spending the evening performing the booty dance on me.
eww, I think rafiq is going to win. for multiplayer. Seriously? I mean, jenara I can at least respect, but rafiq? That guy is so overrated in multiplayer it's just silly. That's just gross. I think i need a shower now.
Amazing politics with this guy alone. Rafiq is only in it for himself, and after he stomps the crap out of one opponent, the entire rest of the table will turn on him. Angus never inspired that much hate. Err, at least not your typical Angus decks... I play Dovescape/Guile and other annoying shenanigans. =P
Pheldy is a joke. Anyone who isn't wary of coasting and seemingly innocuous styles of play is probably new to EDH.
