Amaze us with his transformation? Don't you mean his leadership skills?

The Alpha form does not make Peter a good Alpha, but a powerhouse. Trying to recruit Scott was a pain in the ass for him, since the teenager kept declining his offer to join him even with all the tricks/coercion he tried to pull in order claim him in his pack. As for Derek, Peter's deception of Laura's murder made him turn his back on him with murderous intent. So technically, Derek as been a consented member of his pack for one night and one day (I am not sure about that). In the end, he failed to keep Derek and Scott in check, which led to his death.

In Deucalion's case, by unknown methods that are yet to be revealed on the show, succeeded in becoming the Alpha of Alphas. A leader to other leaders. That says alot on who seems to have the better curriculum vitae as an Alpha. Both Hale members are already outclass by the blind werewolf (for now at least). Plus, the incoming episodes will give us more insight on how he operates. He better lives up to the hype.

Also, we still need to see Talia Hale and Laura Hale at their time as Alpha to make a better judgement on who is the better leader.
