I like your list, Hawk, but I'd like to make a few comments on that:

-I am not really sure what William Wallace has to do with the Celts. Much more suitable would be Vercingetorix, IMO.

-I am not sure whether Cleopatra is really worthy to be a leader. I am not good with history, but I am not sure what her merits are, besides being the last and probably the most famous pharaoh of Egypt. Maybe Hatshepsut?

Now, if you allow me to go on with the daydreaming about alternative leaders, here are my suggestions for other civilizations:
-Mongolia: Kublai Khan.
-Byzantium: many possibilities, really. Besides the obvious, Justinian, Basil II is also worth considering. Constantine, although an emperor of an undivided Roman Empire, could be considered as well.
Wow, ok I have to say firstly that William Wallace was a Celt, and an incredible leader - even if he was only a bit Noble - and he managed to beat the English back out of Scotland, and then invade England. He is my favourite choice for a Celtic leader!

I'll add your other ideas to the list...
