Craig - if you read the books, he's the closest characterization. I had my doubts, but by the end of the first act of "Casino Royale" he was Bond. When he delivered 'the line' in the last scene of CR, it was a done deal, no contest.
Connery - he's the face of the role, but he lacks a bit of the ferocity Bond should have.
Dalton - if you use the books as a reference, he's number 2
Lazenby - i break them into two groups... the 'tough' Bonds, and the 'suave' Bonds. He's the last of the 'tough' Bonds. It's a shame he didn't get a fair shake.
Brosnan - had the "Remington Steele" issue not arisen, he could have replaced Dalton. Instead he was a bit too old and polished by the time he was Bond. And too many silly gadgets.
Moore - the 70's... he's Bond Lite, the comedy Bond. No gravitas, and far far from what Fleming wrote.
