Bach. His genius was truly stupendous. He is the focal point through which all Western music prior to him passed and out of which all future music came. He "predicted" several modern forms, including jazz and some of the more existential 20th-century music. Some of his music "predicts" forms that do not yet exist.
Mozart ("This volume of fugues The Well-Tempered Clavier was always lying open on Mozart's pianoforte," recalled Mozart's pupil Thomas Attwood) and Beethoven (fugues in the Ninth symphony) both were hugely influenced by him or imitated him.
Bach is the greatest master of counterpoint and fugue.

Dont'make me choose. It's fairly easy for me to leave Haydn off, but....
Bach vs. Beethoven? Two of my favorites.
Okay, I would pick Ludwig because his music is incredibly beautiful in a different way. To imagine all that talent and then to lose his hearing and still compose beautiful music. Look at the Ninth Symphomy for an example. So, Beethoven is my answer.
Since you only listed the three and asked for the favorite out of those three, I am giving you the answer from the three listed. Thanks.

Yes, they did use this chord type, however the usage is normally fleeting and generally arises in two circumstances: 1. As an altered dominant chord (G-B-D# in C major for example, instead of G-B-D) 2. As the result of chromatic passing tones (this would also apply to instance #1, for example, if the melody was D-D#-E, you might end up with the chord progression G-B-D; G-B-D#, C-E-G--an augmented chord arises from the result of the passing D#). Some examples in Mozart are the last movements of the Piano sonatas K. 281 and K. 494. For a more extended and daring example, see Mozart's chromatic Minuet in D, K. 355.

Beethoven, especially, then Mozart and Haydn.
Bach can just have another brain explosion. He wrote too much sewing machine music.

DEPENDS ON THE DAY BUT MOST OFTEN LUDWIG VON. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A MORE BEAUTIFUL SONG THAN MOONLIGHT SONATA WRITTEN?
Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked.
Psalm 82:3-4
GOD BLESS
