I put my vote in for the Emperor as well, I think that fact he was awesome and powerful, but could still feel compassion for one of the sons he created adds a little bit of humanity to his character.

I dont feel like we know enough about the hive mind to judge its or their power.

I would have to say though that currently I dont feel like the chaos gods or the Emperor are really leaders, more of a spiritual path or doctrine "For the Emperor", "Blood for the Blood God" and all that jazz.
