Zill has an aura of fear about him for me because he was most active when I was learning the game. Like the 80 lb pitbull who backs off from a 10 lb cat that smacked manners in to him as a puppy, my fear/respect of Zill comes from early traumas. He is a mighty fine pilot, and one of the best escape artists I have flown against. I don't play competitive so I can't say who is the best pilot with any accuracy.
Captaining is more than just piloting. There is planning, tactics, leadership, coordination, map knowledge, in addition to raw ship handling skill. Even if Zill is the best pilot he may not be the best Captain.

I've seen Spud Nick win matches with the most godawful crews with the most godawful loadouts.
Spud for President.
Also, of course Clan Clan boasts some pretty awesome pilots that I always have a wonderful time flying with -- Dutch Vanya, Ruairi, Nietzsche's Mustache, Infinity Omelette, Lochnagar, Zirilfer, Tix Plicky....
DJ Logicalia:
I'm very partial to the Bard founder, DJ Tipz n Trix and his junker. It's one of the best junkers I've flown on, and Tipz is a lovely pilot and a spectacular captain. He taught me everything I knew at the beginning and him and the former [MUS] were the reason I started playing this game as often as I do. Even though he's been eaten by Dota 2, his spirit lives on.
Castus is super rad too. I love crewing on any one of his ships any time I have the opportunity
AngyWalnuts' double carro RAS Wolf Among Sheep is very very very very scary.
Speaking of scary pyras, Montucky's Moose on the Loose always gives me a challenge. I love allying with it and hate going up against it.
Pony's Tears' Galleon, Confetti, is always great. I love seeing people get all bothered by losing to it on a Crazy King game
Jacob was the first dev I ever flew with and had such a great time. I was super new to the game and afterwards I told all my friends I flew with a dev and how cool he was :D
Spud Nick turns any match into a good time. Whether crewing, allying, or flying against him, it's always a blast
Nietzsche is great. He's a terrific pilot and runs some really interesting builds. Never had a bad time on a Nietzsche ship, even when we lose
Fiasco Total from the Thralls was always fun. His ship was probably the first ship I was really scared of screwing up on while I was still new :P Also, I met Blacky Sabbath on a Fiasco boat :D
And Daniel because duh
Really, I just love everybody :D

so many its hard to think of them all.
Talking about top pilots is interesting to me due to its inherent subjectivity (how many good matches you've played with and against a captain)and confirmation bias. I usually scratch it up to all top pilots being contenders and putting rankings down to clan performance. That being said many captains I've listed here don't play competitive anymore so that's not a definitive metric. So many great memories just writing this list :)
Schwalbe:
Well, I have no ranking of who is being top, but honestly? I really admire flying with LeonXross as captain. This guy is damn hilarious. And, so far I was flying with him, he is good pilot as well.
