I'm sure all the "great" ballet companies - and more - have sprung floors.
If one defines "greatness" as the ability to offer union contracts to their dancers, then I think such a list would include the following:
American Ballet Theatre
Atlanta Ballet
Ballet Hispanico
Ballet Met Columbus
Ballet San Jose
Ballet Tech
Ballet West
Boston Ballet
Cincinnati Ballet
Houston Ballet
Joffrey Ballet
Miami City Ballet
Milwaukee Ballet
New York City Ballet
Pacific Northwest Ballet
Pennsylvania Ballet
Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre
San Francisco Ballet
Washington Ballet
There could be others that I'm inadvertantly leaving off.

Texas Ballet Theater uses a L'Air Floor
By greatest do you mean ones with the largest budgets?
Best Dancers?
Most time on tour per season?
Most talented Artistic Staff?
Highest name recognition?
Best technical dancers?
Best character dancers?
Ballet is an art form.
You like what you like.
The title of "Greatest" is up to the viewer.
