I was about to mention I couldn't believe someone hadn't listed Neil Cost, the teacher to many of our great box call makers now! There is a nice one of his calls on eBay now before anyone says you can't get one now!

Ed T is in my top five. One of the best in my opinion.

Ed's box calls have led to more turkey kills for me than any other box, and I have a variety of "name" boxes. The only box call in my vest last year was my ET

It's my screensaver in my studio!

What wood combination of his do you have

The best box call is the one that sounds the best to YOUR ears and you play the best.  That confidence factor added to ease of play is what calls in birds.  I could name fifty talented box call makers but hype doesn't call turkeys to the gun.  An average call will work if you know what to say and when to say it. 
All the names mentioned are great ones.
