Tough question! My pick would be Josquin des Prez, because his style became the template--four or more parts in distinct ranges, sophisticated imitative counterpoint, and careful expression of the text through rhythm, phrasing, and overall form. He also explored further into extended chromaticism than most before him (as in the motet "Fili mi Absalon"), and in addition to his sacred music had a distinct popular style (as in "Mille regretz" or "Grillo") that was perhaps a forerunner of the madrigal.
But this is assuming we're talking about "the most influential on the Renaissance"--his impact on music of that era was huge, but his personal fame didn't last into the following centuries. If you're looking for the Renaissance composer who had the most influence on the following eras, I'd argue for Palestrina, because his music became the gold standard for Catholic sacred music, for contrapuntal choral music in general, and is the basis for the traditional "species" method of teaching counterpoint even today.
