My fave would be the one I am listening to at any given moment. Too many great talents to pick just one.

Nobody has mentioned Buddy Cage yet! He was basically the one who made me pick up steel. But I think the first steel players that I consciously listened to, many years before that when 6-string guitar was all I knew, were Sneaky Pete, Speedy West (with Jimmy Bryant) and Ralph Mooney (with James Burton and then Waylon).
Buddy Charleton and Buddy Emmons of course are the "Holy Grail", so to say.
