Who was the greatest mormon prophet?

I think that most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) would agree that it is inappropriate to say that one prophet is greater than another, since they are all called by God to lead. However, some mayfeel justified in saying that one is greater than another, and certainly most have a favorite or two. Some may say that Joseph Smith was the greatest Mormon prophet. He organized the Church, was the first prophet of this dispensation, and is the only prophet thus far to die in defense of the Church. Others may say that the current prophet is the greatest, because his teachings are meant specifically for us at this point in time. Others might choose a prophet that lead for a long period of time or that is known for overseeing some major positive changes in the Church. For example, Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, David O. McKay, Spencer W. Kimball, and Gordon B. Hinckley.
