All three of Lelouch, Mao and Charles are viable options. Lelouch is the easiest to use and the most surefire. We saw many examples of how far he could take it.
Theoretically with Charles geass you can reshape people very extensively. Take for example a fervent separatist who fights against the government because government soldiers killed his family of something like that. Change his memories so that was terrorists rather than government that killed his family, and he might become an anti-terrorists' government agent instead. We saw how far Charles could take this ability with Julius Kingsley: that is Charles geass can turn Lelouch into Julius.
However, no matter how far you tinker their memories, you cannot change them completely. They would still not do things that is way out of their character. If they are arrogant cunning and selfish they will stay this way no matter the memory alterations. Julius did exhibit many of Lelouch's qualities even before his memories have returned. Also, there is a risk real memory will return.
Mao's geass seem weak at first. However, there is a rather simple way of using it: to blackmail people into doing what you want. After all you instantly know everything, they know, including the kind of secrets they do not want to be found out. People like Putin and Yanukovych even build their entire loyalty pyramid in their parties with blackmail.
Once again some will not be swayed by having their secrets exposed so it's not as surefire as that of Lelouch.
CC's geass is also relatively good if you live by 'all you need is love' slogan or something. However, love alone is not enough for me, I need many more things for happiness so that would not be sufficient.
Rolo and Marianne's geasses are hardly that good to write too much about.
