I voted William Hartnell for nailing the part so completely in the beginning and creating a truly iconic and mysterious figure. Watch him in the pilot episode - sheer brilliance!
I voted Pat Troughton second because he proved that the Doctor could successfully regenerate in a new body with a totally different persona and yet still remain quintessentially the Doctor, thus starting a tradition of regenerating Doctors down to the present.
Otherwise I would have just ticked all the boxes.
Splendid chap, all of them.
