This kind of “Beauty Pageant” is not a good thing in the long run. I think each person would bring his/her own area of knowledge to the table as a piece of the composite, and no one is better than the rest. All persons mentioned in your post are great in their own fields and one of the biggest thrills for me personally here on AM is to see what they have to say on any giver subject (even if the knowledge is "at odds" at times). I can truthfully say I’ve learned a tremendose amount from these folks over the time I’ve been reading their posts. I also firmly believe there is no "best" of the group for the above reason: the subject of equipment is just too broad.
And since everyone's mileage will always vary trying to pin one down one person as "king of the hill" will only result in more heat than light with no clear winner emerging. And the resulting flame wars might just drive a few aforementioned folks off the boards to all our collective loss.
