As if you couldn't guess, I'm a Wakeman fan more then Emerson, but as many have pointed out, Keith Emerson worked closely with Dr. Moog early on. The rest is history.

I went with Wakeman, but all evidence seems to suggest Moog worked most closely with Keith Emerson, since Robert Moog was the pioneer of synths, the correct choice would lkely be Emerson.

Keith Emerson, but since he isn't here I'll go with Wakeman.

Walter/Wendy Carlos (Switched-On Bach).
Moog actually designed the first synthesizers with Carlos.

I think you forgot to mention Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre, although I don't know if they could be considered as 'pioneers'.
As for the list, Vangelis is my favourite, although Tony Banks is pretty good too

If we're going to look at the original pioneers, George Harrison had the first Moog in the UK and released an album called Electronic Sounds which pretty much sank without trace. You can also hear it on several tracks on Abbey Road. I believe that the Moog solo at the end of 'Lucky Man' was played on Harrison's instrument - I know that ELP didn't have a moog of their own when they recorded their debut album.
In Germany, Florian Fricke of Popol Vuh had the first Moog, which he played on PV's first two albums before reverting to acoustic piano. He also played Moog on Tangerine Dream's Zeit.

Emerson should be on the list. I think he was 'messin' with Moogs' a few years before Wakemen and that geezer from Tangerine zzzzzzz Dream

As for the influence he had on the adoption of the instrument by
other keyboardists (and for playing skills of course!) I'd go with
Emerson; if I have to choose from the list, Edgar Froese, one of my
favourite musicians.

Edgar Froese. Tangerine Dream have been closely associated with the development of synths from the early 70s up until today.
