One key point worth considering imo is who is likely to make the matchday 13 on a regular basis..
I think this might have some influence on the choice. Through Sinfield's captaincy there was a point Peacock would be captain on the odd occasion when Sinfield was missing. However I think it was around 2013/14 it switched to McGuire instead of Peacock. Guessing that's because Peacock would sometimes be off the pitch as a forward, although granted he hardly spent prolonged spells interchanged. Likewise Ward or JJB or Cuthbertson whilst spending big minutes on the pitch do get interchanged now and again and it might just be the preference to have an 80 min player as your named captain.
Like some have mentioned before, whoever is captain the key thing is having a leadership GROUP.
