Jaco. His tone is easily the most sought after bass tone in history, and for a good reason. He's not my favorite bassist, but I prefer him over Clarke (who I still like a lot). His work with Pat Metheny in particular wins me over.

Pastorius was more innovative but Clarke was more reliable.

Clarke.
Pastorius was great and innovative but there was always something in his bass textures that annoyed me a little bit. As much as his bass runs could be great, his famous live bass solo on delay effect is easily the worst bass solo (of an acclaimed musician) I've ever seen.
Clarke was consistently good - easily adaptable, concise, pretentious, raw, melodic, each facet carried his signature. He did some awful works later, though.

Both great bassists, but Clarke's compositions are superior.

Stanley gets my vote. Of course they're both amazing artists. I find that each of their musical characters,creative individuality and emotion via their music set them apart from other electric bass players of their genre. I just happen to prefer Stanley's feel over Jaco's. To me he sounds more human. Too often for me, Jaco can sound cold and removed. You can argue complexity and technique all day long, but ultimately what matters is, what speaks to you as an individual. For me that just happens to be Stanley music.
