The first and best is for the imam to be the one among the people who has the most memorization and the best recitation. There is no harm in regularly reciting specific surahs in prayer, as long as one does not believe in their status or their obligation. Therefore, the prayer behind the aforementioned imam is valid, even if he repeats specific surahs.
