Captain of the Watch is likely the best choice for monowhite.
But have your thought of splashing blue? (Although it's not even urgently necessary:)
Play him with Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, and your attackers will likely all survive since your opponent most probably won't have any creatures with Horsemanship.
In other words, while Su Quan is in play, all your creatures will be pretty much unblockable. And he's a 4/4 himself. Sounds pretty devasting for something caused by an attack from a three-drop.
Sun Ce, Young Conquerer also does a good job since he can unsummon your biggest threat (or maybe even Captain of the Watch if you want to use her cip/etb trigger again.)

@pensaint:
When you attack with Preeminent Captain, he allows you to put a soldier onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. If you use this to get a second Captain, his ability will not trigger because when he entered the battlefield under your control he was already attacking; you haven't declared an attack with him.
However, using Preeminent Captain to blast in a high-costing soldier like Captain of the Watch is almost always a good play. You'd have two 3/3 attackers, and an additional three 2/2's waiting on the defense.

Awesome in Exalted decks, since the new attacker won't cancel the bonus from Exalted.

@ClowWizardEriol: Yes, he would be tapped, even though he has vigilance.

Definitely a very important piece to my kithkin deck, I like having him with Mirror-Sigil Sergeant.

This card is just fantastic. I wish Daru Warchief had not rolled out from extended. these two together with some other soldier creatures like captain of the watch could really end the game in two rounds in a well designed deck.

Putting another Preeminent into play won't trigger his ability. He never attacks, he's just put into play tapped and attacking.
