Plato was the greatest writer. Aristotle gets credit for the "Forms". Socrates was the starting point for both. Though both Plato and Aristotle had their strengths, Socrates was the first and without him neither would have been as great. My answer is Socrates.
No one can actually say who the "star student" is. Plato would have to decide that for himself. Although, Aristotle is believed to be one of his great students there must have been many more.
