Use Sirius as leader if you need to maximize your damage and you're filling gauges just fine, but Zeal would be the better leader if you're having trouble filling your gauges. Otherwise, they're exactly the same. Nadore would only be better if you're having some serious trouble surviving, but in that circumstance I'm not sure this team would be able to pull through.

You could replace Kikuri with Nadore and add in Sirius. That would get the most out of Nadore's elemental damage buffing. You'd want to have her go before Sirius, so his buff can replace hers, since his stat buffs are 10% bigger (definitely have Shera go before him though, since hers is 20% weaker than his.) However, I think putting Zeal in would be better too. I'd consider replacing someone else to have all three of them in there.

If a bunch of the units on your friends list have spark buffers (like Avani and Eze), then you're probably better off replacing Claire with Zeal. If that's not the case, and you don't necessarily need HoT from Selena (especially if it's 7* Selena), then replace Selena with Zeal. If you won't need the BB fill when damaged buff, but you need HoT and a spark buffer, use Sirius and Zeal, but don't bother with Nadore.

IMHO Zeal brings a much better variety of buffs, plus Nadore's elemental damage buffing isn't as useful with only two Light elements on the squad. Her UBB is really amazing, but circumstantial. Sirius's UBB could probably handle most situations with his 75% mitigation, especially when combined with Shera's SBB (and her UBB also has 75% mitigation, although hers only lasts 2 turns, compared to his 3 turns.) Nadore isn't terrible, but Sirius and Zeal mesh a little better, even though all three of them overlap in certain ways. :)

TL;DR   Zeal or Sirius as leader; use Sirius for damage and Zeal for BB fill. If you have cost for 5: Sirius, Nadore, Zeal, Shera, Claire/Selena. If you only have cost for 4: Sirius, Zeal, Shera, Claire/Selena or Sirius/Zeal, Shera, Claire, Selena. Have Shera go before Sirius, then have Sirius go before Zeal to have the best attack buff left standing.
