John Paul Jones...the only musician that ever really mastered numerous intruments the way he did.

With time & hindsight, John Paul Jones. Page, at times, has kind of messed up his rep. Plant is only now owning up to having taken a few bits from older blues, but at least when he went solo, he went his own way. His latest almost matches his work with Zep.
But JPJ, well, he helped start a label as a musician's co-op. Zep biographies mention his unease at claiming re-worked blues riffs as their own compositions (Black Dog >) ), & if the group had continued (whether or not Bonzo had lived on), he likely would have become a more important part of the group, & helped them "modernize" their classic sound.

John Bonham!

The power and groove combined made him the perfect drummer. And Moby Dick live (Not least the 15 minute version on the Led Zeppelin DVD) proves that he was the powerhouse everyone says he is, and then some!

John Paul Jones for his versatility. He's vastly underrated in my opinion, it seems that Page and Plant get all of the attention.

Jones for me too.
On a side note to progismylife: You don't really need a bass player, and you don't need a guitar player with incredible timing to hold it all together either. Just have a look at VdGG. No bass and very rarely any guitar at all. And when there is some, Hammill likes to mess around with the timing on purpose. It works fantastic nevertheless.

Bonham for me (John that is). I know he's not the most talented in the band, but what a sympathetic and versatile player!

It was the sum of all the parts that made Zeppelin great, in fact if you look at all the great bands this was the case and that's what puts them at the top of their game, the interaction of 3,4 or 5 great players in perfect harmony with each other. 
 
I'll go with Page though, an extremely inventive player although he could be somewhat sloppy in a live situation.

Everyone in Zeppelin was an amazing musician, this is true.

That being said, Plant, Page, and Bonham can't lay a finger on John Paul Jones. He was so diverse in his musical abilities, and he was FANTASTIC at everything he picked up.

Trying to decide which member was more valuble is like trying to decide if your heart is more valuble than any other vital organ: each one is just a important as the other and they all work together to bring the music; or art in Zep's case, to life.  That said, I've always just been tipped towards Robert's ethereal and IMHO tribal vocals.  Still to this day I get chills every time I hear the vocal intro to Immigrant Song.

 ^ shame he lost so much range by '73, but he was still amazing and made up for it with passion

John Paul Jones ,beacause of its versatil style and stylish instrumental grooves in folkish Zep songs...It just puts everything together ,and its fun to watch him be so shy when it comes to stage presence.
