Everybody is welcomed to say whatever they want.
I vote for Uesugi Kenshin. He differentiates other daimyos in many ways:
(1) He does not want to expand. All other daimyos just hope to destroy the neighbors.
(2) He helps other daimyos upon request. He doesn't take reward as others do. If you need some help, go ask Kenshin. Even Takeda Shingen tells his son so.
(3) He does not attack the weak. For example, he refused to take advantage of the doomed Takeda after Shingen's death. But if it was Shingen he would be very happy to do the contrary.
(4) He does not have a lot of wives. Well he has no wife! He dedicated himself to buddism since young and did not marry. There is rumor that he actually likes "man" Homosexuality between men were not too uncommon in Sengoku Jidai Japan.

You can say as a strongly religious person, the un-married Uesugi Kenshin lives in his own imagination. However, isn't this a cool style in this son-murder-father war period?
