Considering he was angling to become the king of Judea, I'd say Jesus probably preferred theocratic monarchies.
No, he's their spiritual king, not temporal.
Given the priest structure in the old testament, I'd guess he'd prefer Theocratic Federalism, with each of the twelve tribes being states and governed by a council of priests with one acting as head of state. Or in the new testament, the Apostles taking the place of the priests and one (Peter) being the head of state. But honestly, I don't think Jesus particularly cares, his focus is the next life.
