The essential question to ask under these condiditons is:

Which one of these would haul my butt out of the fire better?

The answer is Sheridan. Picard will talk until there is no alternative but to take action (though I really blame the Federation's "Let's be friends" attitude). Sheridan will assess the situation, figure out what he has to do to succeed, then DO IT.

The real answer is: :)

Picard: "Hey, that fractal guy is burning over there."
Sheridan: "Who?"
Picard: "Ahh..I'll just get Jeordy to remodulate something and he'll be O.K. Feel like a cuppa?"
Sheridan: "Sure. Earl grey?"
Picard: "Of course "
Communicator: "Riker to Picard"
Picard: "Picard here...go ahead number 1."
Riker: "Sir, were being attacked by 3 romulan warbirds."
Picard: "Fuck!"
Sheridan: "Ba...don't worry about it.....Hey Morden."
Morden: "What do you want?"
Sheridan: "I heard these pointy-eared guys talking about some black spiky dudes they call the shadows...you ever heard of 'em?"
Morden: *whispering to himself* "The pointy-ears know about us..."
Sheridan: "Heh heh...watch this!"
Picard: "On screen."
Sheridan: "I really have to get one of these......hey look."

4 shadow ships suddenly appear, blat the warbirds, and disappear again.

Picard: "Excellent. You're pretty cool."
Sheridan: "Abso-fraggin-loutely."
Picard: "Hey, Mr Mordy"
Morden: "What do YOU want?"
Picard: "I heard the executives at channel 9 talking about those shadow guys too........."
