There's nothing wrong with having a particular Kido spell that you prefer, if you are good with it then why not use it. Rukia doesn't overuse incantations. You have to understand that she was limited to a slight fraction of her power for most of the series and when she wasn't limited the only time I can remember her using the incantation was in her fight with Aerionero. Also, yes, she did say that, but you have to take context into play. She was referring to the time when she had just joined the13 Division before she ever received training by Kaien.

You're also misunderstanding something here. I realize it's not the strongest because Hitsugaya's wields it, but his wielding it does alow it's true potential to be realized. Imagine if an unseated Shinigami wielded Hyorinmaru, sure it would still be considered the strongest, but would the wielder be able to combat even a seated officer just because he had the strongest ice-based Zanpakuto? No, he wouldn't. You can't simply say O, her Zanpakuto doesn't have as much attack power as Hyorinmaru, because that's irrelevant. The victor in a fight would be the better combatant not whose Zanpakuto had greater attack power.

Also in your argument you're making an assumption. You're assuming that Rukia's Zanpakuto doesn't have more offensive power than what is already shown, which is not the case. Zanpakuto's like hers and Toshiro's would naturally gain higher offensive capabilities as the wielder got stronger and gained more reiatsu. For example if Toshiro only had a Lieutenant level Reiatsu then his Zanpakuto's power would be reflected in that. Also, what's wrong with a normal fighter? If everyone on the protagonist side was over powered then Bleach would be like most shonen's. I prefer realistic characters and that's what Rukia is, she is realistic. She's powerful, but not so powerful that it's just unreal.

Kenpachi is quite the one trick pony. Most of his fights are quite boring to be honest. The only skill he has is swordsmanship and a high reiatsu. He can't pull any tricks out his sleeve or reveal Bankai, he can just slash and slash harder. His fights only consist of slashing and talking, there's no revelation of some clever power or anything like that. In addition, he himself is interesting and I find his releationship with Yachiru interesting, but his battles are dull. Though I will agree with you about something, I hate Byakuya with a passion.
