It's pretty obvious that, during the story, the other squads see Squad 11 as a bunch of battle-hungry bruts. And for the most part, they don't seem to be wrong. Squad 11 are for the swordmasters, people who forgo focusing on Kido, Hakuda, and Hoho are focus solely on Zanjutsu, the sword techniques. So, the squad is primarily comprised of sword enthusiasts and people who love to fight with their swords. It's so single-minded that Yumichika implied that if you even have a Kido-based Zanpakuto, you will be ostracized. Their Captain is the "Kenpachi", which is the title given to the "strongest shinigami". Though, technically none of the Kenpachi have been stronger than Yamamoto, who held the title of the strongest shinigami for over 1000 years. But this doesn't stop Squad 11 from considering themselves the "strongest" squad. For the most part they come off as loud, violent, and conceited. If Ichigo was an official soul reaper, what squad would he fit into IYO, cause squad 11 seems to single minded for him IMO He's a little too powerful to be just another Shinigami, but if I had to guess I'd say either Squad 7 or Squad 13.

I do think he mixes with the Squad 11 guys fairly well, and he doesn't really use Kido or Hakuda, so he's be a pretty good match with his non-Kido-type Zanpakuto.

However, I think he's too thoughtful and analytical to really be in Squad 11. That is the serious meat-head squad.

Squad 7 would be better, because while it doesn't have the same "Meat-Head" sterotype, the recruitment info and SWA aptitude lay it out for the more masculine and loyal Shinigami, which fits Ichigo very well.

Squad 13 would be very good too because it is in charge of guarding the Jureichi, which is Karakura Town at the moment. That's the whole reason why Rukia ran into Ichigo, because she's from Squad 13. Also there's a connection between Ukitake, Rukia, and the Shiba Clan that runs rather deep. And I feel that if Ichigo isn't going to be the Captain, Rukia is probably the best person suited to be his Captain.
