It's gotta be Lofwry [sic]. He's gonna hunt you down for misspelling his name.
Lofwyr is not only a real "dragon's dragon," he's also corporate. He's the archetype for much of what's wrong with the Sixth World. As a GM, I respect that.
Dunkelzahn/Ghostwalker runs a close second, but he was too trustable as the Big D, and he's too inscrutable as G-walker. (If, indeed, they are ona and the same.)

I already answered the coloring... who can say that death would not change one's temperament? Does myth not state that the Lamb Jesus shall return as a Lion?

Hell I see Ghostwalker is the Master of Shedim, Doll-Maker Unbound before The Dragon Reborn, but the argument can be made without OoC knowledge that Ghostwalker is Dunkelzahn after sheading his mortal coil.

But Dunky had other lairs which he used in the Sixth World, whereas Ghostwalker returned to his immediately upon arriving through the rift.

No. Ghostwalker deals with the world in a totally different manner than Dunky. It isn't just the difference in temperment, but the modus operandi of the two that is disparate.
Dunkelzahn was all over the media, even before his candidacy. His methods, while possibly questionable, were identifiable. I don't think anyone who had dealings with either Dragon would think them both the same being.

there's also the point that we already know what happened to dunk--as detailed at the end of the dragonheart trilogy, he's keeping the cliffs of doom, or whatever they're called, from coming together and allowing the horrors to enter this plane. so, really, there's nothing to say that GW and D couldn't be one and the same, except for every known fact.

I'm guessing its theoritical(still trying to get collection of Shadowrun stuff complete, thinking about starting Earth Dawn collection.)

1. Nope. Year of the Comet.
2. There's no telling, really. Mostly what he's doing is ensuring there are no longer any mana spikes to bring about the Scourge too early. It's very likely that it will still happen, but not until it's closer to when it should happen, which won't be for another few hundred years at least. (Maybe even as much as a thousand. That's one of the things I'm fuzzy about in reference to Earthdawn.)
3. I believe there is a book dedicated solely to the Horrors, and may simply be called Horrors. I'd also heard that LRG is going to or already has published effectively a new edition of that book. You may want to check their website.

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse. Yes, the distinction is between canon and a particular GM's interpretation. Of course, not everyone considers the Earthdawn connection to be canon, but I think it's been shown that Big-D and G-Walker can't be the same using only SR materials. (Esp. if the novels are canon.)
My point, and I do have one, is that players shouldn't assume that something is a certain way because that's the way it is in the canon. GMs can and should tweak the milieu to suit their group's tastes and temperaments.

I think I'll have to go with Lowfyr. Might makes right is always a good motto to live by. Big D used to be my fave but since he bought it, I guess I'll go with Lowfyr. Ghostwalker is cool too with his dealing with the spirits and being the greatest conjuror but his workings in Denver are rather questionable. Yet another candidate is Rhonabwy with his anti-elf-rule antics and support of the independence of Wales. I could list Alamais too with his superior-than-thou attitude but I guess the winner is Lowfyr.

Well, yes you can say that, but also why even read the books like DOTSW if your going to completly create your own shadowrun world. ANd als the discussion is based on the book Shadowrun world, Im sure there hae already been runs (maybe even tournys and cons) where Ghosty and DunknDonuts are the same, maybe even some where they worked togeather.
In my mind, I predict that DunknDonuts "blew himself up" to disappear from the world (what with all the big shots he was pissing off with his shows, maybe he was ordered to do so at one of the Great meetings.) and possibly live a life of solitude as to nott anger anyone anymore. He could be giving us hints (the Ryomyo file in DOTSW) from his secret hidaway. And if he did take himself out to hide, why would he just rise up as Ghosty and break stuff. Ghosty and DunknDonuts may be brothers (or somehow else related) but for them to be the same, it seems alittle far fetched, but then again GMs have that power... :-/
However of the choices up there I chose Lung, cause he trained one of my favs Ryomyo.

Rhonabwy is my favorite, but Celedyr's just behind him

Why ?
I did not like Lofwyr and Ghostwalker since they are too ... omnipresent (in the world history, I mean)
I am no amateur of asian culture (it's a shame, I know) so Ryumyo, Lung ... are not my cup of tea
and I really like the celtic culture/atmosphere, the links to the past (Celedyr's interest in Egyptian and Celts ... Rhonabwy's link to Wales myths ...)
moreover, like fistandantilus3.0 says, "Rhonabwy is one of those quiet types"
and finaly, I like the fact that Celedyr is both interested in past (see above) and future (wireless matrix, make matrix available to metacreatures ...)
edit : in fact, I have forgotten the history between Rhonabwy and the Sea Dragon which interest me a lot, since it's a history of dragon eggs, with a lot of plots, linked to Hestaby and perhaps other great ...
