While I love these guys, personally I prefer Chick, Herbie, Bill Evans and Erroll Mann, just because of their unique voice and the feel they bring to their songs.

Yeah. I’m a huge Chick, Herbie fan. Jarrett less do lately. I love Brad Mehldau. Sp? But also love Cedar Walton and Red Garland. Phineas. Going over my old ground again.

Kenny Barron

I don't know about "best" or even if he was mentioned in this thread, but I have always dug Kenny Drew.

Probably not Les Dawson.

Just finished listening to the Oscar Peterson Trio's Encore at the Blue Note recorded March, 1990 (length: 74:49) with Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, and Bobby Durham. The digital CD version is a treasure.
