Politically, I would say King Helseth. If Ocato can't muster a single soldier from the Imperial Legion to support the defense of a major city, how much "power" does he have? The Champion of Cyrodiil is not really an established political figure (unlike the Nerevarine), and the Nerevarine isn't on the continent, as already mentioned.
In terms of physical/magic "power", Divayth Fyr has the highest level of any NPC (except characters from the expansions), Daedric armour, and all kinds of spells I'd imagine. I would assume most faction leaders are out of the running, since you usually wind up killing them, and/or acquiring their most powerful items.
