I'd probably vote Setchel Carlson followed by Zenith...In the roundy era RCA sent engineers to SC to try and figure out how SC was getting a better picture out of RCA made roundy color CRTs than RCA themselves were. SC also has the advantages of being a 100% hand wired MODULAR chassis where you could do neat things like pull the color module and have it continues to operate as a monochrome set. Circuits were a mix of RCA based stages and their own designs.
It is funny some folks think Sivertone was worse than RCA... most Silvertone color sets were RCA clones the early ones were nut and bolt clones, and as time progressed they started customizing chassis metal board placement and component placement... granted they probably were not using the latest RCA circuits at any given time...so a new RCA that out performed older RCAs probably looked good next to a new Silvertone some years.
