Which Bond would you trust with your life in order to survive?

Quantum Floral Arrangements: "We Have Petals Everywhere"
The smell of gun powder fills the darkness amid frequent sparks of fire and the vibrations of explosive shells shake the foundations underneath your feet. Through the smoke, you see the grim reaper himself in the form of a strong-built team of men armed to the hilt with devastating weaponry. The odds are drawn, 6 to 1. You run for the only means of solace, small knee high cover that begins to blast apart with the constant fire of assault rifles, each bullet tempting your fate. Smoke encompasses the space, making your eyes run with tears, burning like a steaming fire. As oxygen becomes further depleted, you stave off death's forceful grip by keeping low on the cool stone floor. The shouts of the men become less distant, and just as they begin a final assault on your cover you shut your eyes through the stinging, wishing only to disappear. Then suddenly, spits are heard echoing through the caved in building. The men all fall in beautiful unison before you, all dead before you hear the thud. Looking around behind you, your eyes meet a face: Bond, James Bond. Through the explosive chaos raging around you, he picks you up and hands you a handgun and rifle. Together, you run forth into the veil of smoke to take on more of your approaching pursuers, but this time you are not alone.
So, my question is this: Who of the 6 actors embodies this James Bond that you put your complete life and trust in the hands of during this time of intensity? The stakes are high, the odds stacked against you, and you both need to be able to count on the other to survive this ordeal. The choice, and the battle...is yours.

He knows how to kick ass.
With Brosnan it only seems to be women he's slept with that get bumped off ally wise, so I would probably be ok with him.
Lazenby is one of the toughest Bonds (definetly the toughest in real life, in his prime obviously), but if he couldn't protect his wife what chance would I stand? To be fair there's not much he could've done to save Tracy but still.
Connery and Moore had their fair share of allies killed off and didn't seem to care all that much so not them.
And so we're left with the best Bond, Dalton. Despite being a badass even he has his fair share of dead allies (Della wasn't really anything to do with him but Sharky died after helping Bond).
So I'd take my chances on my own.
But answering your question, Dalton. I think he'd care for me more than anyone else, tbh.
On a pure hunch and instinct.... I'm going to go with Connery.
Plus, keeping in mind how many movies he's been in to scale, Moore had a pretty good track record. For the moment I can only think of Countess from FYEO & the nameless girl from TSWLM ('Seemed to have missed desert')
I'd have to go with Moore or Dalton
He's the most dependable. His reactions might need tuning though.
No. Just kidding. Daniel, for sure, coz I am a man. Because if I were a woman, i would be just dead... Vesper, Solange, Fields, Severine... Everything he touches withers and dies. :)
Actually, his men allies dies all along the films too... So, strangely, I would choose Moore.
Still, that many deaths over the course of 7 films isn't bad at all. Ol' Rog is Mr. Dependable!
Again, I don't see why people think this:
(My previous post is below)
In DN he wishes to strike at Dr. No for payment after Quarrel's death. In FRWL Bond's face looks completely infuriated and saddened at Kerim's nasty passing. In GF Bond is almost taken off the mission when his anger over Jill's death gets to him, and later he is pained at Tilly's death at the hands of Oddjob. In YOLT he was completely floored by Aki's death. She was the real Bond girl of that picture, not Kissy. Sean's Bond loved his allies, plain and simple, and was extremely loyal to them if they were to him. He also had great care for his Bond girls. Saying he was devoid of any emotive response or care simply isn't right.
But I don't agree though that he was affected all that much with Aki's death- he probably went right back to bed after it happened!
When I said Connery before, I had in my mind the likes of Aki, Tilly, Plenty, & Paula.
Of course, that's not to say such an attitude isn't perfect for that of a spy-- I think it still stands that Moore simply let fewer people get killed
I myself would choose 007 without hesitation, and given the choice of all 6 Bonds, I'd choose Timothy Dalton's version first. Even if Timmy was one of the deadliest Bonds, I think he's also the one for who human life is the most precious.
Connery would use me as a human shield.
Lazenby would lead me to ski off of a cliff.
Moore would kick me off of that same cliff.
Brosnan would have me hold a mirror up, the mirror would get shot. I'd survive but have glass in my face for the rest of my life.
Craig would lead me to a dead end and shoot me.
(see above)
Moore - no, Lazenby - not really, Connery - didn't quite do it, Brosnan - not at all, so Yes, I'm going with Craig for this on recent evidence, but Dalton is worth a mention
No, he has to be in last place for this, even though it's little secret he's not my favorite of the Bond actors, but I just can't envisage him being some kind of savior or having my life in his hands during a dangerous situation
Might I ask why you don't see that? Granted, it's in the way of a woman, but he lets Trevelyan get away to save Natalya in GE, and he avoids a better escape route in DAD to save Jinx. He also braves an avalanche and protects Elektra at all costs - until he finds out her plot - in TWINE. I think he would be capable enough to protect me, granted he wanted to.
