Haven: Vittorio, Maeve
Sylvan: Vinrael
Inferno: Deleb,Nymus
Fortress: Helmar agree fully
Academy: Nur
Necropolis: Naadir (follewed by Raven and Kaspar)
Stronghold: Shak'Karukat,Kragh
Dungeon: Sinitar
I am referring to TotE (and I play XL maps), did not play the other factions much so can't really comment.
Vittorio's ability helps in creeping, but late game Maeve can be very powerful, with the right skills (not to mention her windrider ability)
Vinrael's ability + Enlightment = easier levelling up + rather buffed stats
Helmar is more powerful the more levels he gets, with a mass light spell, basically righteous might will activate EVERYTIME...
Most academy heroes are good, but Nur's ability is...imo somewhat broken (and she is one of the heroes that cannot get ultimate ability). Her ability means that she hardly have mana problems.
Shak'Karukat is not bad, but wyverns seem weak to me (even pit lords seem better)...

i would say
Haven: Lazslo (300 vindicators a real slaughter machine)
Inferno: Jezebeth ( they only have 1 shooter so why not make it ultra super)
Necropolis: Lucretia ( the same as lazslo; close kaspar)
Dungeon: Eruina ( i use matriarchs  empowered implosion+ extra shot )
Stronghold: Shak' Karukat ( no doubt there)
Fortress: Helmar ( free righteous might, what can you want more, foloved by Inga as second)
Academy: Galib ( lets erradicate someone into oblivion, with luck magic resistance, so if it isnt blocked it's transferred  )
Sylvan: Talanar i would say ( sylvan has not much to offer with heroes...)

Yeah, who cares about Findan, Wyngaal, Anwen and Ossir. They're a bunch of crap

Interesting that nobody mentions surely one of the best hero: Ylthin. At lvl 20, which is easy to reach in almost every map, her unis are almost equal in attack and def stats with dragons, with 1/3 HP. (I call them "mini - dragons")
And her starting skill, adv light is also cool. I played a lot with sylvan, and its very annoying if u cant have access to light.
Another not really mentioned big boss is Garuna:
People sometimes forget that extra attack is cumulative. In my mind in final battles of multiplayer game difference between attack and defence for the heroes are very important. If the difference is over 15, battle could become a real slaughtering. With Garuna speciality this critical difference can be achieved easily. Against Garuna if u decide to build a defence from 1 piece of creatures, it will cause problems.
In small and short maps (final battle on week 3 and one town) Kaspar and Deleb might be good, but in larger maps they are poor.
Creeping without losses with necro is relatively easy, you just waste a skill.
Deleb's speciality became ridicolous. My choise is Nymus. Swarming gate is cool, and causing maximum damage per attack is important for inferno because of the lack of defence, so luck skill comes very handy.
Its interesting that Dougal, Klaus were not mentioned also. Upgraded archers play the key role of creeping with Haven, but I would prefer Klaus. Lvl 6 is surely biggest weapon in haven hands. With Klaus they alone can decide battles.
Sinitar is a good hero, but Yrwanna with extremely important enlightment/intelligence skill at least same level.
Please note that I have not played campaign, so I could not consider campaign heroes.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Zehir:
"Every time a friendly stack dies, a group of elementals enters combat at the hero's side. The number of elementals increases depending on hero level. In addition, Summon Elementals and Summon Phoenix spells cast by the hero are more powerful."
totaly agree with u!! for me is very hard to lose a battle with ehir controlled by me

Dunno if there's a most powerful, etc hero. All heroes can become powerful with right setup. For example, that summoning hero from sylvan can be incredibly strong if she's given time to develop. Also, from dungeon lineup, Kythra and Lethos are very strong.

without doubt Arantir is the best hero in the game. with zehir i tried to learn many spells but with arantir i knew all of them, probably except the summoning magic spells. if i had him at the fight with Biara I would have kicked her demon ass.

 Arantir's Avatar of Death is the only ability who is good at him.The rest...nothing (well a few)
but he is one of my favourite heroes

I have a question, it is a little off-topic but here goes: there is a mod to unlock all the heroes from the campaigns so that you can play with them in scenarios. the problem is that some of the heroes don't appear in the moment when you wnt to chose them from the CREATE screen. And I made sure that they will be in the AVAILABLE HEROES list. Kujin, some haven heroes, Ylaia but most of all arantir. I can't use them. The only way to be sure that you get them is by putting them physically on the map. And that is not right.

I say, the best heroes are Markal (when he gets Herald of Death...) and, of course, Zehir (master of elements)

Wait here Markal not too good.because there are not always nerco creatures & with that great amount
and Findan, his ability only works with fools and neutrals. His specialty
can be easily be wasted by splitting lowest tier creature<example-there are 100 gremlin split those into 99 & 1 then his shooters will always hit the stack of 1 Gremlin.
There are many other heroes like:-
 King Tolghar, because specialty works for creatures of others factions and doesn't depend upon hero lvl and effect can doubled by teaching soldier luck.
Zehir, In small maps in few level ups after teaching expert summoning magic & fire warrior zehir in going to beat everyone but in HoMM5 ToE summon elemental is lit bit costly.
Arantir, he has got a spell like conjure phoenix a 5th lvl spell(Avatar of Death) with special abilities gained at different lvl.
It can beat lots of tier 7th creatures if the hero is of 25 or more lvl.
Gotai, he starts with 2 spells and voice in few lvl ups by teaching shout of rage rage points are doubled given by the warcries.Also reduces the cost of warcries everyone knows barbarians have a shortage of knowledge.
Raelag(Master of Initiative), is the best of all everyone knows.

That's Arantir the best of them and kasper too worse because first aid can be broken easily and necromancers also have raise dead spell.

and i would say
Heaven: Nicolai (100 Champions are better than 300 vindicators)
Inferno: Agrael (succubus will not be alive or unalbe to shoot)
Necropolis: Arantir (no one is going to stand in the way of Avatar of Death)
Dungeon: Of course, Raelag
Fortess: Helmar is good, but not better than King Tolghar
Academy: Galib is not bad,But zehir will be always better
Sylvan: Wyngaal (will be first striker)
