It's either Marius or Ignatius depending on the map size and preferences.
If one wants to gamble for a stronger main hero, pick Ignatius. If not then pick Marius, the start can be a bit rough but she is a solid main if one can demonfarm effectively.

Nymus for better Pit Fiends, which you need to keep alive to resurrect demons :V :V
Remember that specialty also gives +1 speed, doesnt it?
Rashka with Wisdom is also a fine choice if you want an spellcasting might hero, because he starts with Wisdom and Scholar. After all, spell power doesn't matter with blessings and curses. Efreeti are also powerful.

Voted Ayden,
I mostly play small maps, sometimes medium ones but never large-xl maps due to several reasons. I am not too patient to wait too much time before battles between factions. His Intelligence skill helps a lot I think in small-medium maps.

From the height of my noobiness, Zydar is my favourite. Ok, actually, when I was starting out Axis was my favourite, because of his portrait, tho Zydar also had a special place. Then I realized that Sorcery made your spells stronger, so yeah, Zydar all the way for me.
I still think that sorcery builds are great for casual play. Flame me.

Zydar is also good! Primary skills for strategies belong to Zydar, because of 1/1/2/1, and you collect powers. The best example of death knight have 1/2/2/1, you develop to defense and power, when necropolis is weaker team, if you give for defense and power, necropolis becomes stronger team. If you give up defense and power, and you take a attack and knowledge, so necropolis never become strong. It's rule! Ok then Zydar has sorcery, it does mighty hero him! Remember power or knowledge, you take a power  powertube! Ok my random map/game came Zydar, I developed to 3/2/9/7 in 2 months  and his skills are wisdom, sorcery, fire, and offense when skill shares pathfinding, I know that fire, and I updated sorcery. I didn't taken pathfinding, I know also it comes back. I know the system well. From now on you can collect skill by the secret. Why not test? About Cleric, I develop to attack, power, and knowledge. So 10/0/20/20 Zydar gets 10/10/20/10. Remember also artifacts, and free bonuses (e.g. marletto tower), etc
EDIT Now Zydar has 35/51/59/39, and his implosion does 9904 dmg! Zydar kills in about 99 creatures in 6 level or in about 40 in 7 level. I played implosion, and demon farming with Yes in about 38/38/59/39  You know that artifact, if you're brainy! The best is talking heroes than some guy explains things, or better still s/he don't like about sorcery  Remember what? I said Zydar is good.

I kind of suck with Inferno, so I rarely play them. BUT, leaving aside the usual snowty skills (artillery, learning, etc.) that some of the best heroes in the game start with I would say Inferno have some of the best heroes in the game. I think there's at least 4-5 heroes that I could play as my main at any given moment, so it was kind of hard to choose one as being the best, especially assuming that this poll only refers to vanilla versions of HOMM. Because, if we are talking about WoG for example (which is the only version I've played in the last decade)... well, nothing beats rashka
I still picked rashka, though, because... well, level 6 creature specialist. If game is dragged into month 4-5 and beyond no other Inferno hero can match Rashka's power

Pyre and Marius are still good, but Rashka is "better" hero.

Pyre is only good in early game and because she starts with logistics, but otherwise Marius and Rashka are the best heroes.
Personally, I like Rashka more because I never use demon farming properly, but... people who use demon farming properly will obviously say Marius is the best, and I can't argue against that

I know this is a very old threat. But maybe things changed with last HOTA-Update?
I normally prefer Calh, Ignatius and Fiona who aren't listed in the poll. Marius would be nice to try with the reworked specialty and a huge demon"farm". Heretics - I am sorry - are the worst heroes in the game, I don't think new changes change that. Most of them can't even cast their starting spell at the beginning. Only Calid with new Learning and a good starting spell is possibly better.

Ayden and especially Zydar scale very well into the late game if you can get good skills on them, which isn't terribly hard because they actually role into offense and armorer fairly often compared to other magic classes. They roll into mysticism more than any other class but that skill has been buffed so much that this isn't the end of the world.
With that said, Demoniacs are definitely more consistent. Marius and Nymus especially. Cahl and Ignatius are good starting heroes for their army but I think Cahl is probably the worst long term because his starting skills are pretty bad.

Fiona is a very useful hero because she starts with Advanced Scouting. Only one Learning Stone grants you this skill on Expert. This makes her useful for all factions, especially on random maps/templates.
I loved Ayden in old SOD-Maps. If I remember correctly I had once more than 7000 spell points.
In general Heretics have a higher chance to roll Earth than Witches, Battle Mages, Wizards and Clerics.
