Hard to argue with Hellboy, but if the hero is human, I'm going with Richard B. Riddick.

I find Han Solo a lot more compelling than Luke Skywalker.
Two things, and I admit the first is just preference: (1) I like heroes that are fun to hang out with. Han Solo and Chewbacca are a lot hipper than Luke. I suppose I get why Luke has to be single-minded and serious; he is the crux of the galaxy's fate, after all. But that's my second thing:
(2) Luke's genes make him the chosen one. This motif is sometimes pretty compelling to me (like the gritty but noble Aragorn in LOTR), but in general I'm more interested in normal human beings whose wit and sand make them as formidable as chosen ones -- like Han Solo, and Boba Fett.
I love Hellboy too, who is a chosen one, but as cool as Han Solo and tough as Chewbacca.

I've said this so many times, but the lack of any kind of Han Solo type of character is the missing element from the second Star Wars trilogy that made it feel less enjoyable than the first one.
I also remember hearing somewhere that Harrison Ford said that Han Solo's dialogue was originally just as dry as a lot of the other characters but he just changed it without asking and apparently George Lucas didn't notice or say anything. Whereas people who would argue with him over lines would never win, Harrison just changed them without even bothering to ask.

Re: best sci fi hero?
One of pro wrestlings greatest performers of all time went on to a fairly succesful acting career...
For me, the greatest sci-fi hero of all time is a toss-up between Roddy Piper as John Nada in They Live and Roddy Piper as Sam Hell in Hell Comes To Frogtown ...
Actually, I prefer the latter because it is more fun.
