Heh, as long as both are practical then there will be no problem with either route.
I do not see Sasuke being truly practical being that he does not seem to care for anyone else leading to a poor understanding of others. He can deal with situations and politics strongly and efficiently, but is unaware of the human element. Not hating, I think most would agree with this statement.
Naruto is a much more practical leader honestly, even given he is a hardcore idealist. He understands the human element in both battle and philosophy. He has shown this to be an invaluable skill throughout his life. In the hands of a leader, Naruto's skillset and empathy will allow him to do great things and he will be trustable to have his people in mind when he uses his power to make a decision.
