I am in favor of either wilson or perigrin, being not good at DF is a desirable quality in some successions. It can lead to some fun when nothing is going on.
Not being good or trying something that's not maybe very well thought through are pretty much the kind of things that make these games. Besides, "good" is relative. Don't get the fort killed and do little? Good. Get the whole fort killed, but do so because you accidentally collapsed it all into the magma lake while trying to find a way to harvest giant cave spider webs to make slinky things for your dwarfs? Also good.
