Ahh what a fun question.
Zarek deep down in his inner self hidden beneath layers of sarcasm and BS would love this. To be celebrated, praised, and looked up to. For a kid born in Ul'dah to somehow rise to a place where he's considered a 'hero' would be tantamount to wish fulfillment. Gil & girls, coin & country, etc etc. But the reality is he's really only good at one thing and that's putting the hurt on people and things, which is something he accepted a long time ago and is content with doing despite how it makes him appear to others.
Martiallais is probably the closest to being an actual hero but would never accept that or simply deflect the praise elsewhere. He's a knight, after all. Honoring his vows and protecting his people (which is really Ishgardians, Elezen, and pretty much anyone he feels sufficiently close to), those things matter more than praise or being viewed as a hero.
Temurgal just wants his people (Au Ra) to prosper and stop fighting long enough to retake their homeland. He'd like to be seen as a hero in a sense, as someone strong and maybe even worthy of being followed, but it's not a priority by any means. Protecting his family and being strong enough to do so is far, far more important in his eyes. Though he's starting to realize that there may be some value in heroic deeds/reputation so he's kind of easing onto the path from a different angle.
