Is T-Pain the Auto-Tune King?

I am sure that many of you are familiar with Auto-Tune and T-Pain has received a lot of credit for bringing it back. Would you consider him to be the master at using Auto-Tune? Many people feel that he is. In a recent interview with Rhapsody.com, T-Pain discusssed his use of Auto-Tune. Also, Kanye and and Lil Wayne, pretty much gave their blessings to T-Pain as being the King of using it. T-Pain recently stated:

"I brought it back. I didn't start it. I didn't invent the damn thing. People think that I feel that way when I say that I should get respect or recognition for bringing it back. Lil Wayne will tell you right now that the only reason he is doing it is because of me. He saw that people accepted it."

Reportedly, Kanye recruited T-Pain for his upcoming album 808's and Heartbreak. In reference to working with Kanye, T-Pain stated:

"Kanye called and said, 'I got to borrow your style for a second.'," T-Pain explained. "He's kept it a little longer than he said he would he was going to, but at least he gives me the props."

Now considering that many artists are jumping on the Auto-Tune bandwagon, such as Lil Wayne and Kanye West, who sounds the best using it? I definitely would like to know your opinions on this matter.
