No contest: Sun Tzu

From the list I would have to say - Rommel
I have always been fascianted by the guy in that he keep his officer integritity even when having to deal with the nazis around him...
Alexander should also come in for a mention as the son of the Sun God - That guy really knew his stuff, took risks and lead from the front which not many generals ever did afterwards.

From the list, I would say Rommel. Rommel accomplished some amazing victories while often heavily outnumbered or otherwise logistically weak. This speaks well of his leadership and tactics/strategy. That's the same reason I would include Robert E Lee (and the fact that my great great grandfather served in the Army of Northern Virginia).
Napoleon, Patton, etc usually had enormous resources at their disposal.

Allow me to illuminate your doubts then, Saint.
