(The last time I posted a link to their top 100 sci-fi shows it led to much furrowing of brows, gnashing of teeth, kicking of heels, banging of fists, and beating of chests 😉 — the list was/is hardly canon; best not to take such polls terribly seriously…)

Their top twenty (author first):

2 Card, Orson Scott: Ender’s Game [S1]
