An MSNBC article listing the men on the show, their pros and cons and their "co-castaway material" From www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23451954/ But the rundown on Ben is below.
Benjamin Linus
Pros: Forget Jack and Locke, there's not a better leader on the island than Ben. Allegiance aside, he knows how to keep a group going strong. If trouble abounds, he takes care of it — at any cost. Until recently, he kept the Others living in style. That beachfront tent town might be nice, but the air-conditioned bungalow village wins. Plus he has that special relationship with island bigwig Jacob, though that's not quite as exclusive as it once was.
Cons: Is being a cold-blooded killer a con? Yeah, probably. It's particularly bad in Ben's case, given his tendency to take out more of his people than enemies. He killed his father, wiped out the entire Dharma community and even has a nasty habit of killing fellow Others when the mood strikes him. Then there's the fact that, despite his assurances to the contrary, Ben is evil.
Co-castaway potential: If comfortable digs are most important, Ben's your man. If you put more weight on actually surviving your island experience, then not so much.
