Which showrunner was the best writer?
Moffat. Had he left the show at the end of Series 5 I wouldn't have had many bad things to say about him. Although The Bells of St. John, Listen, Heaven Sent, The Pilot and World Enough and Time were pretty decent stories, the majority of his work post Series 5 was rather poor. RTD wrote a few decent ones but he came across as a lazy hack most of the time. I thought Midnight was a bag of shit honestly.
