From an artistic point of view, Peter Greenaway wins for me hands down.

I also like David Lynch a lot.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

From your list Lynch

But Kubrick and Aronofsky (check out my poll... I command you to) would have been my choice also if they were listed

Tarkovsky was brilliant. Absolutely original in his early works (The Mirror, Andrey Rublev), he was heavily influenced by Bergman later, even cast Erland Josephson in The Sacrifice.
Regardless, I vote for Bergman

I voted Lynch out of these, but my real favorite directors (Kubrick, Tarantino, Hitchcock, Raoul Walsh) are not represented.

Ingmar Bergman
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

From David Cronenberg I also recommand Naked Lunch; is a surreal movie, close to the Lynch style

My absolute favorite is Marty Scorsese (although I am disappointed in him doing The Departed), but he is still an incredible director.  I voted for David Lynch though.  He's a nutjob and I like that.  He is able to draw an intense amount of suspense and all sort of....strange things into one big ball while still directing a "normal" film like A Short Story.  The only director on that list I don't think I'm too fond of is David Cronenberg.  He seems too direct a lot of not so great movies that are more of a showcase for hilarious guts and gizzards and such.  Although I was quite fond of Spider (with Ralph Feinnes) and Crash (not the newer one about race relations as you are probably aware).

Of these? Hmm. Interesting list. Neither little Timmy Burton, nor big Alfie Hitchcock is here...or Roman Polanski for that matter...so I'll say Kurosawa. He's pretty damn good AND entertaining. Yojimbo is rightly recognized as one of the greatest films ever made.
 
I like Gilliam too, for the record.
