By Heinlein I've only read Stranger in a strange land I really liked it, couldn't put it down. Though, I can't say why now, but I remember that I didn't really like the way the author portrayed women and religion.
I never read anything by Clarke. I've read a lot of old Sci-Fi books (i.e. ~1940) but my idea of his style is that it's old and dry. I probably should try one for once.
Asimov is one of my favourite authors. I've read pretty much everything he's written, I love his universe. One criticism I could make is the fact that his writing can be a bit simplistic ("X enters, X does that, Y reacts, Y says this, ...").
To Asimov I still prefer Van Vogt or Zelazny.
