Pratchett and Gaiman are tops for fantasy now, I think. Bujold, Gibson, Miéville, Ellison's short stories, Brin. Oh -- and Tepper, Tepper, Tepper. Oh -- KJ Parker. CJ Cherryh.
Actually, it's changed over the years, but it's still easier for me to pick out people I don't like much than for people I've never liked. I loved McCaffery when I was younger, but am sort of meh on her these days. Same with Katherine Kurtz -- loved the first 6 Deryni books, and even sort of liked what she did with the whole Templar thing, but can't be bothered now. Loved Card for a few books, then went off him.
