My favorite and the one who I think the best is would have to be Daniel Garcia, since he's the one who first got me into magic. He's also the funniest guy I've ever met and there has yet to been a single person who showed me an effect that astonished me more (I can't really talk about it since he says he isn't planning on releasing it or atleast not at this time, but it was SICK!!!)
Most famous: David Copperfield and David Blaine
Funniest and most creative: Daniel Garcia and Wayne Houchine
Best sleight of hand (my oppinion only), and my favourite: Aaron Fisher

I think there is more than one category in being a good magician. No one magician is great at everything. As I'm sure you have all watch the original T11 video, I think its Wayne Houchin who says you pick what type of magician you want to be: Close-up, Stage, Cards, Coins, etc. Thus, some magicians are incredible in some aspects of magic.
In my opinion:
Daniel Madison can really think outside of the box to think of very clever methods for near-impossible tricks
Wayne Houchin and Daniel Garcia really know how to get the audience involved and are able to get great reactions
Derren Brown is an incredible mentalist...nuff' said
Cyril Takayama-He seems proficient in nearly every category in magic, BUT, some of the methods to his tricks are questionable, and I begin to wonder if he has others help him (Burger Trick).
There are several other great magicians who are just as good as those listed above, in their respective fields of magic.

I don't know if they are the best, considering its difficult to define what being the best includes but these are the people I enjoy watching perform:
Joshua Jay (for his creativity at such a young age), Derren Brown, Andy Nyman, Paul Harris, David Stone, Richard Turner, Jason Latimer, Penn and Teller, Max Maven, Gregory Wilson, Lance Burton, Bill Malone, David Blaine, Cyril Takayama, Kevin Spencer, Lee Asher...I'm sure there's more.

Derren Brown...
I think he's the closest thing to actual real magic since levitating sliced bread.
