Asimov>Heinlein>Clarke
They've all written some really interesting stuff, but Asimov is the man. He writes simply and clearly and conveys interesting stories and ideas without a lot of the extraneous stuff you find in many books. His non-fiction is also quite interesting. I recommend Asimov's Guide to the Bible, the only way it's tolerable to read.
Heinlein comes second just for The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. I almost put it down the first time I read it due to the way it is written, but suddenly I realized I just understood the dialect and it was worth every page.
