Difficult to answer because they were working at different periods of history with different bodies of knowledge behind them to work on.

But possibly Newton was the greatest because his theory of gravity was able to explain the movement of the planets in the sky almost exactly, which was an unsolved problem of about 2000 years' standing, and to do it he also had to invent and apply a new branch of mathematics (calculus).

Galileo's work with his telescope broke new ground in astronomy, and Einstein's theoretical work led to the science of Cosmology. Einstein's work also makes very small corrections to Newton's theory for the planets.
