Who should the leader of the party be?
Should it be the paladin or cleric - the one who presents a respectable face to the civilization of the game world, and has skills for diplomacy and/or supporting the rest of the party?
Should it be the wizard, who has the biggest arsenal of spells that have the potential to completely change a plan, and who is thus best equipped to come up with innovative approaches?
Or should it be based not on any in-character considerations, but simply be taken up by the player who is most outspoken and comfortable with taking initiative and making decisions?
It should be the best and most experienced roleplayer

In my campaigns, we always assign the edgiest guy, with the longest trenchcoat and the cringiest one-liners.

It shouldn't be anybody in particular. If the party needs a leader, the character most suited to the role will probably come forward.
The player that does more than kill and loot things

Usually in our groups it's the one who actually talks the most to npcs. Some sit there quiet others just wanna shop shit but those who become leaders actually try to progress with the story.
