The Prodigy had a great moment in the 90s, with great songs and a huge live presence around the world, but they weren't able to keep on recording in a high level.

I consider Daft Punk to be the true heirs of Kraftwerk, in both visual style and music, and although they have only 3 albums they are all special pieces of electronic music. I also loved the Tron Soundtrack.

Don't like any of them really, so on the grounds that I like some Prodigy songs, they get my vote

I don't think any of them were that influential. Daft Punk to an extent, maybe.
 
Faithless - only heard one song which was great.
Prodigy - only heard their first album
Fatboy Slim - only heard their singles, some good some not
 
Voted for DP because I'm most familiar with them and their music is the most enjoyable to me of the 4.

Prodigy.  Just for 'for the Jilted Generation' on its own - quality.

Yes, but Kraftwerk doesn't need to be mentioned. They are for Electronic Music just what the Beatles are for Rock and Black Sabbath are for Heavy Metal. Actually to me they were more influential than the Beatles for the 20th music as a whole, in the sense that they originated many more music genres. The Beatles influenced more artists, but in a more limited range.

Faithless - if only for Irreverence.

Not a specialist but I'd count the following amongst the best 90s music:
Underworld, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Leftfield, Faithless

Definitely, Portishead and Massive Attack for me, but I wanted to stay "dance" here.
And I haven't danced to Portishead yet, those were better fit for hanging in the sofa watching cigarette smoke circle round a good glass of wine.

They are a great band (duo) but influenced rather than influential
