Ganondorf with Sephiroth: Recognizes him as an obstacle, but would keep him by his side to keep an eye on him.
Ganondorf with Bowser: A pawn with actual value. A Rook if you would.
Ganondorf if he ever spent an hour with Eggman:

Why does the fandom hate eggman being a villain? Like genuinely what’s the problem with him being one? The most overrated interpretation, Satam robotnik is the most adored version of him and he’s pure evil so what gives?
Because the fandom is full of hypocrites.
How often do you see this for other villains in gaming? Bowser? Ganondorf? Wily? Moneybags? Even villains who canonically have a sympathetic or good side? I doubt you'd find much. (Yes, I know there must be some people who do it with those guys, but the point is that they're nowhere near as omnipresent as they are for Eggman.)
Hell, do you ever see it this often with other villains within this very franchise? Do you ever see Mephiles get portrayed as a softie because Muh Depth? No, you don't: his one-note ass gets praised all the time for being "truly" evil. Which goes to show that the need for Eggman to have a good side because that's the only way to flesh out a villain is manufactured bullshit. Some of the most celebrated villains in all of fiction - deserving ones, not poor Leslie - are completely bad to the bone with no regrets. And why is that? Because aside from normally being hypnotic to watch, they tend to be fleshed out in other ways that have nothing to do with their morality. Because shock horror, not every villain needs the same kind of depth.
I think it might also have to do with Eggman being a "mere" man as opposed to a god or a monster or something along those lines. Those people have probably never heard of Lex Luthor. One of the points with Eggman is that he uses his intellect and his ruthless ambition to reach the heights that would normally be reserved for villains who are omnipotent right out the gate. His status as a human villain also neatly parallels the nuanced green aesop of the series: just like how technology can be used for good or for evil, humanity as a whole isn't evil (despite what internet misanthropes who coincidentally go on to become murderers would have you believe), and this is reflected with the presence of benevolent human characters in the series, but there are bad apples out there who must be dealt with nonetheless.
