Any good Commanders for land destruction? I'm looking at going mono red with Zo-Zu the Punisher, Jeskai with Numot, the Devastator, or Gruul with Wort, the Raidmother.

I think Numot is probably the best bet. Red and white are the big colors for land removal and Numot allows some interesting politics. Let players know what lands you are looking to kill with Numot and how much that will set that person back if you can't hit that person and someone else might let you attack them with Numot.
The blue will also let you do something really dumb where you play Armageddon followed up with Cyclonic Rift. And then nobody has lands and you have all your nonlands...

I have a Mina and Denn, Wildborn deck (not on tappedout) that ramps into mass land sacrifice, big dumb idiots with land related abilities, and big dumb idiots that cause people to sacrifice (i.e. original eldrazi). The type of ld I use is Wildfire, Ember Swallower, and Destructive Force. With lots of ramp and draw, I always get to a couple of ld before the game is over, and with ways to get multiple lands from your graveyard each turn it becomes a game of attrition that you are likely to win.

I think Narset, Enlightened Master is one of the best LD commanders. Not having to rely on lands to generate mana and cast spells is great, throw a Darksteel Plate and her and she's fairly close to invincible

I actually really like Selvala, Explorer Returned as an MLD commander. She provides access to green for mana dorks, as well as ramping herself. And when you combine her card draw with resource hate, You can happily feed opponents cards as they don't have the mana to play them.

Sram, Senior Edificer, Etali, Primal Storm, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Zur the Enchanter, Captain Sisay -- All have been effective with LD or MLD for various reasons

Avacyn, Angel of Hope + any of the mass land destruction cards: Armageddon, Soulscour, Catastrophe, Ravages of War, Worldslayer
...or even nonland killers like Hour of Revelation and Nevinyrral's Disk which there are much more of out there.
I play Numot personally, the deck list on my profile page.

I was going for a Keranos, God of Storms control deck where the main wincon is mld and Repercussion. You get card advantage with Keranos while slowly bolting your enemies to death. It sounds really fun to play, if not effective.

You could consider Neheb, the Eternal. Mass land wipe with him out and you'll still be able to get mana.
If not, you'll probably want white, so Numot may be your best bet.
