Yabo, DanO, and Derick Hershey ("the dirty bird") with an honorable mention for Dean Potter, I am ranking them in order of insanity and disregard for personal safety in the pursuit of Soloing.
I would put Sharma and Dave G tied in Bouldering.
Huber does have at least one 5.14d unrepeated route (Black Sheep), so i give him the sport title.
Tommy C overall (.005 points above Lynne Hill).
And steady performance by a Gym Climber goes to.....just kidding, i'd give it to stewy, or chris, they climb w/ reckless abandon on those TR gym routes, static line doesn't always provide the most comfortable catch either

Maybe it was that other one, the one called "MASON ALLEN Sucks at Life", oh wait pretty much all routes scream that truth. Most women would echo the belief as well. Thanks for exposing my gumbyness, you jerk. One more thing roomie, you best sleep on you back tonight, i'll turn big zion loose on you after you pass out.

And even if it was unrepeated, why would you consider having an unrepeated 5.14d more impressive than putting up a 5.15a that's seen a few repeats? Since 15's are rarer, it's likely that more of the super bad asses have tried them. So, while Huber is a definite bad ass, I don't think you can rank him as a sport climber ahead of Caldwell(14d/15a), Sharma, Graham, or a good handful of Spanish and Basque climbers.
