I think the better question would be which madhab is most closest to the way of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Don't get me wrong, they all are very highly regarded imams but we must make sure that we understand that they are not prophets and so they will make mistakes. Some of the issues in shafi'i are more closer to the truth than the hanafi, and some are vice versa. We should take those which are the closest to the sunnah and not do strictly follow a single imam. May Allah allow us to be true followers of his ONLY chosen one for the end times, the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

One of the many problematic things about your post and specifically about the bold part above is that it alludes to make the common person think he has the ability to perform Ijtihad in all Islamic sciences.

I dunno how many centuries ago since the last claim of Ijtihad was made, let alone recognized and accepted by scholars.

Then we have people today who meet none of the qualifications of a Mujtahid or nowhere near it, make above mentioned statements...
