Well, in terms of coolness and great power, Akainu is pretty powerful and respectful, and his ruthlessness is what makes him even more powerful as a warrior. But his deceitful and manipulative ways is just too nasty, tricking Squardo and Ace when he could have just attacked straight on with power.

And then Blackbeard, I personally think he's just an evil Santa Claus of some kind, being the fat and jolly guy he is, with powerful "Christmas magic" (or in Blackbeard's case, Devil Fruit powers).
