Honestly, I have always thought it better a clan, but one that functioned as a separate thing, like a division.
By nature ranking or seating if you will doesn't work for vizards, since they are basically a loose band of outcasts brought together by the fact they are all in teh same boat, and all they can trust is each other. Division "seating" is in fact a military term.
Here's a bit of a history lesson; do you know where the term "Seating " comes from?
It's a term used to describe how close someone sits to a leader at the clan table.
basically in the Feudal era, a leader or Daimyou would be facing everyone. the closest seat to his right would then be considered the 1st seat, or in the case of Bleach a captain, with the Daimyou being the Commander General. work your way down and the farthest away from the Daimyou would be the lowest seat. It's a military term that began in the period of warring states. Only, unlike bleach in most cases someone would rise a seat not necessarily because of accomplishment like in the Feudal era, but in a time where death was a part of life, in most cases because the guy senior to him died in combat.
now to apply this to a loose group of warriors, or ronin if you like, wouldn't work. However, vizards need to be separate from the gotei in an ideal world, thus they could have their own structure of governing.
That's how I have always tried to approach the idea, here and elsewhere.
