Hey, stop bashin' crackheads. Umm, I mean....
In a just universe, Zapp would of course be "left behind", to quote a popular book. But Futurama doesn't assume a just universe. It posits a hilarious universe.
Now, Scruffy does have some pretty good jokes and gags, once in a while, I'll give him that. But he could be jettisoned while leaving the more-joke-providing Cap'n Zapp, and plenty more jokes would be saved.
So, though the question asked was whom I would leave behind (and honestly Zapp would be out of the airlock immediately if I had to live with him), in comic terms, we could do away with Scruffy more easily without endangering as many possible riotously funny potential main plots.

No, wait - liability has a point. What if Zoidberg lopped off Zapp's head and attached it to Scruffy's shoulders? Granted, Zapp has a fat head, but if everyone also left all their shoes & boots behind, I think that would be enough... And Zapp could just be a loudmouth growth on a janitor's shoulder for the rest of his life.

What? You'd jettison Kif, leaving his smizzmar Amy to raise their children alone? Oh, what a cold, dark heart your universe has.
Besides, the answer is obvious. Doy and smeesh! Bender can survive without oxygen or other life support systems. (See Love and Rockets.) Even if he had to eject and float through space (see Godfellas) he'd still survive.
Not that he'd go willingly, but hey, nine to one!
(Yeah, I initially voted to leave Zapp. Goodness, who wouldn't wish to? But logic -- as explained to me by Leela -- has convinced me that in real life, the robot is expendable. Also, the box said, "No!" )
