I feel Dale Steyn I feel is the best of the lot. With his 140 plus km/hr speed and good wrist action he is the deadliest baller. His strike rate is testimony to that. He has been effective even on slow Indian pitches. Zaheer is equally talented but recurring injuries have slowed down his pace considerably but effective on any surfaces. Anderson is effective only on baller friendly pitches and conditions favorable to swing balling. His stint at India is not that impressive.

pretty easy.it has to be zaheer khan.both anderson and steyn can bowl at mid 140's consistently and they are at their best at fast track or track that assists swings whereas zaheer rarely bowl in 140's but he can move the ball either way quite easily.
if steyn can do that,he would be devastating

It has to be Zaheer.
Anderson can be left out of the equation, because he can get pretty deflated himself on an off day.
Zaheer & Steyn have always led from the front.Bur responsibility wise it has to be Zaheer, because youngsters have excelled under him. In one-day internationals, he even sets the filed during 3rd powerplays. The mid off/ on field position for him also means that captain realizes his role as a motivator & guide to the other bowlers,
