Weather Report does nothing for me.
The Jan Hammer Album is OK.
Bruford's is quite good.

Bruford, easily.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Hammer is more electronic like Hancock's Sextant. 
Bruford is top notch though
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

1. Weather Report
2. Bruford (as long as his vocalist is not vocalizing)
3. Jan Hammer

I like Jan Hammer's first album but it's not nearly as good as his second in my opinion. I felt that the debut was very restrained which i'm sure he did on purpose after being in Mahavishnu Orchestra which was anything but restrained.
I've been debating between Weather Report and Bruford since I saw this poll yesterday and finally am going to give the slight edge to Feels Good To Me.

I don't own any of these albums.  Have and love Weather Report's first two albums, but have only heard bits of Mysterious Traveller on youtube.  It didn't grab me like, say, I Sing the Body Electric which is, I think, one of the very great albums in JRF.  The only Jan Hammer album I know is Oh Yeah, and Bruford who? Of course I know he is, but I've never wanted to explore his "solo" albums.
