Aquaman - Peter David first and foremost, Morisson, Pfeifer and waiting on the Brave & Bold issue by JMS.

New Gods - Kirby,Morisson - for Darkseid add Keithen & Levitz and for Orion Walt Simonson

Superman - Johns

Hal Jordan - Johns

DC Olympians - Perez

Thor - Simonson

Daredevil - Miller

Hulk - Peter David

Spectre - Ostrander

Deadshot - Ostrander

Martian Manhunter - Ostrander and mayyybe Kelly

Flash - Mark Waid still

Batman - tough choice, depends on the style. If you like crazy over the top stuff then Morisson. If you like more down to earth stuff Dini is a good choice. And of course the glory that Denny O'neil is.
