Artists and editors (aside from the magazine editors) I'm always underinformed about: if you want to pimp your choices to me, now's the time.
Well, I do have one but in your particular case, I think she would be inappropriate: Ellen Asher (who I don't work for, although I freelance for someone who does), who has been doing a pretty good job at the SFBC since the 1970s. Since the SFBC is confined to the US, though, I can't see that her choices would ever have affected you.
It seems to me that magazine editors and anthologists enjoy a significant edge over the editors who work behind the scenes in the book trade. In fact, I will go farther: unless an editor plants his or her name on the masthead or on the spine of a book, there is no chance that they can will the Hugo. None.
