This is a silly question! Scotty, it's obvious! The rest of them are just actors!

Best chief engineer
Not really o’brien foxed an entire ship class and he was just a enlisted man. No starfleet AcademyThis is a silly question! Scotty, it's obvious! The rest of them are just actors!

Scotty
Still, they have not yet established who the chief engineer is, or even that there is anyone above Stamets in engineering. Although he does wear the science insignia, everyone who works for has engineering insignia, including Tilly. Also, despite the fact that spore drive trials have been suspended, Stamets is still on board the ship, and he's been promoted to Lt. Commander. So either he is chief engineer or he's movie era Worf.
100% correct. A computer graphic does identify Stamets as chief engineer, someone behind the scenes tweeted that was a mistake, and he does wear sciences insignia.

Actually, according to Trials and Tribble-Ations, O'Brien did attend the Academy.
Out of all these actors, Doohan may have been the closest to being a real engineer.
I chose Scotty.
As for the others...
Torres: a hot-head, but quite competent.
La Forge: technical expert, without a doubt.
O'Brien: also quite competent.
Stamets: I'm not sure he counts as an engineer.
Tucker: the self-taught boat mechanic who got a job as starship chief engineer because he was Archer's buddy.

yes but he
Yes but in past tense he clearly said was not an officer. So he probably attended enlisted courses which are shorter probably. So that’s why I like him so much he was able to do a lot with less starfleet Academy training then the other chief engineers.
I totally agree with all of Them. Although I’m pretty sure archer picked him because he was a great engineer. And remember Starfleet has to aprove all important positions. And with Stamets he’s in the science vision so I don’t think he is the real chief engineer. Although I am biased because I don’t like the fact that he’s not as willing as the others to protect his home just because he doesn’t like military work.I chose Scotty.

Or more accurately because HE THOUGHT that he was a great engineer.
He was a great engineer. Considering he was able to keep enterprise in one piece
The problem is that he said some really stupid things along the way which make me question that. Engineers are supposed to be smart.
Everybody says stupid stuff. That doesn’t make them any less smart. And if any of that stupid stuff is after the season two finale, well he lost his sister. And the fact that he was able to keep the enterprise together after all the damage in Azati prime says a lot.
Scotty
Honourable mention for Trip
Honourable mention for Trip
I'll give Torres a vote, because the greatest chief engineer of all time, Lt. Commander Argyle, isn't included.
