Weekes obviously, Kanhai was great and all but Weekes was put with the immortals and averaged 10 points more. some away tours with Sinusitis doesn't change that.

Kanhai judged Weekes to be the best he ever saw it seems like

“When it comes to batsmanship, Weekes is second to none. I played 10 Tests with him... I was mostly in awe of him but he made sure his status never came in the way of our relationship." He was a perfect gentleman and great inspiration to several players, including me. He’s the best for me... A player in the classic mould who excelled in playing along the ground. For me, that will always remain his best. He played with a broken finger. It was a green top and the likes of Brian Statham, Fred Trueman and Trevor Bailey were spitting fire. That was a tremendous show of batsmanship, Weekes on his own is incomparable. You need to look at his style, poise and grace. They would come in hordes to just see him bat."

It's Weekes, he bridges the gap of the gods above him and the mortals below for WI cricket. There were some that rated him ahead of even Headley.
