or go efficient x2 and 1 leadership?

I thought the Leadership boff trait stacks, even with the player trait if you're human. The wiki seems to confirm this. Actually all the traits you mentioned stack aside from the stealth component of Pirate which I didn't even know existed until I had a look. Seem to recall Leadership's hull regen was nerfed adjusted a long time ago (?) I think but combined with the sub-system resist it ain't bad.
Don't know if the math confirms it but I'd take Leadership over +7.5 WC efficiency per efficient doff. 2 SRO's, 1 Potatohead, and 2 humans... but that's just me. Your spec is giving you +100 and the space trait Efficient Captain if you have access to it gives +30 so that's already quite a bit combined.
3 efficient boffs would give you about an extra 2.1 power at 25 power or so versus +9% hull regen in combat and +60 subsystem resist for an equal number of human boffs. Which is better?
Edit: space trait WCE changed to efficient captain
Feds also get an aditional pirate for tier 4 diplo doffing.

Yes it was fixed about 4 years ago as it was over performing and not working as intended. Can recall it felt pretty useless compared to what is once was after the change:
Updated Leadership:
This trait now provides a scale .3 Regeneration bonus in-combat, and a scale .6 Regeneration bonus out of combat.
This power no longer scales off of your amount of crew alive or off your skill points spent in hull repairs.
Its effectiveness is now constant.
Leadership's out-of-combat regeneration rate no longer persists during Combat as well.
Leadership no longer gives regeneration for having 100% of crew alive regardless of how much Crew damage the ship had taken
Of course the crew mechanic was since taken out and never worked right anyway, unless you had a ship with a very small crew... Since then a little googling has brought up that it does not stack, but this was a bug and was to be fixed in a future patch a long, long, time ago.
Currently the wiki indicates it does stack, and in-game indicates +3% hull regen in combat +5% out, and +30 subsystem offline resist. We've had the new skill tree introduced as well. Seems 3 humans are about the equivalent of 1 point into damage control, that is if they stack.
The only thing I can really say I "feel" in combat with two humans on the crew ( and 2 SRO's plus Potato) is the extra subsytem resist.
So, does it stack, and is the +hull regen worth it if it does? Think of this as an expansion of the OP's question Leadships vs Efficient.
jsut test how many points u rly get from it.... pls!
Didn't see your post up when I was composing mine but am beginning to think you probably summed things up in one short sentence.
3 Efficient gives +2 power in any sub-system at 25 power = diddly over squat
3 Leadership gives equivalent to about 1 point in dmg control = diddly over squat
all tactical slots with superior romulan operatives (rare male romulan tacticals from embassy)
1x eng pirate (nausicaan, diplomacy t4)
1x hierarchy doff (sci/pirate, episode reward)
if there is room, mostly it might be a human engineer for leadership or the Krenim Boffs from the Research Lab (in most cases it will be the eng one) might be worth a look too with the cd reduction to all eng or sci or tac cooldowns
kdf:
all tactical slots with superior romulan operatives (rare male romulan tacticals from embassy)
rest nausicaans with pirate (exchange). in case you dont have enough resources to get the superior operatives, just more nausicaans with pirate
rom:
depend a bit on the ship, for ships with a battle cloak:
4x superior romulan operatives (romulan, rare/very rare from exchange)
1x superior infiltrator (reman, rare/very rare from exchange)
in case you have bought the bit delta bundle, you could use the tactical reman from that pack instead of the exchange one. this one give you superior romulan operative AND superior infiltrator.
for all warp core ships with a romulan just 5x superior romulan operatives

Thanks @felisean and @baudl. For some reason the OP's post made me want to revisit 2 things that aren't really relevant anymore. No harm done. Thanks
Why is there no option that once you unlock a trait on a Boff, that you can give that trait to any boff, like you can do with their abilities? Or even an unlock for exchangeable traits like your own exchangeable traits for your boffs, the UI for it is even there already.
i'll check next time I am on my fed cap in earth space... but leadership boosts repairs by 20 I think.
I prefer to have a all purple crew so no blue SRO for fed/kdf toons.
The kremin only reduces their own skills... I guess you can have 3 (1 for each class) and only use the 1 that is for the command seat. (thats if you have the bridge officer rooster space)
K13 BO has some small skill boosts but it's not much, but the humans have leadership as well. These are probably the best humans BOs you can get.
you need to max out diplomacy... then you can recruit 1 kdf bo...

This is pretty much exactly what I use for fed/kdf.. sros, potato, and an eng krenim. On fiveboff ships the fifth is usually.. negotiable on my kdf for some reason she still has a talaxian and my fed uses the eff borg engineer but yeah she doesn't do much
Been max level for years now. So what gives ? Do I just buy one and slot him, even though it says I cannot use him ? Or do I get one from somewhere else ?
Always been a fan of the way this game explains things !
you could get 1 eng nausicaan after reaching diplomacy t4. the npc for the reward should be next to admiral quinn if i remember correctly.
ingame: @Felisean
See Ambassador Jiro Sugihara in Admiral Quinn's office on ESD. He has a store tab where you can claim your diplomacy doff.
Just went to see him on my very first toon and it appears the rank 4 diplomacy doff is not reclaimable (zero owed showing) so assume mine got dismissed at some point by accident. Can anybody confirm this?
Edit: https://sto.gamepedia.com/Jiro_Sugihara says the boff is reclaimable, wonder if I have a bug?
back in the days it was possible to not only dismiss them but actually trade/sell them. some people did that to get more than one for their fed toons. sadly its not possible anymore. but in that case you shouldnt be able to get a new one.
ingame: @Felisean
Ackward language in last sentence
Should I be able to claim a new one?
Are you sure?! Last time I checked, I could dismiss the boff I got, and reclaim another one (on my Fed).
Feds need to go see Ambassador Sugihara in Quinn's office to claim/reclaim the Diplomacy Boff. KDF need to go to the Barracks and climb the set of stairs to the left-hand side of the landing over where you go to train your Boffs.
You can still only have one, but they can be ground into a character-bound training manual or dismissed and reclaimed... similar to how you can with the Vet Androids.

When was the last time you did this?
It doesn't matter. Once that blue Romulan Male Tactical candidate is commissioned, it becomes a purple BOff. He's like the anti-Saurian/Gorn.
It's the blue Embassy SRO's you need nonetheless. (If you're a Fed)
