Doron Beckerman claims that the Chofetz Chaim and Rav Moshe Feinstein
are "the two most influential
Poskim in post WWII Jewry."

Rav Ovadiah?  Rav Shlomo Zalman? etc.

Also, if as has been mentioned here before the influence of the
mishnah berurah post-WW II was largely due to the influences of Rav
Kotler and the Chazon Ish -- see Daniel Eidensohn's posts at
http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol01/v01n026.shtml and
http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol04/v04n003.shtml -- then perhaps it
makes more sense to view Rav Kotler and the Chazon Ish as among the
most influential poskim.
