I personally liked Carmen Luvana but she was never as big as a lot of the others. Catalina Cruz is somebody that is only a "pornstar" in the most technical sense. In practicality she's sort of like Sandee Westgate, somebody that's technically did hardcore a handful of times, almost always worked for herself why doing it, does most of her own stuff regardless, and the vast majority of her work is for non-hardcore stuff, so she should really be considered an adult model instead of a true pornstar an doesn't really count here.
From that list it's only between Eva Angelina and Nina Mercedez, and considering that Nina has been in much classier stuff, doesn't work with any loser male talent that comes along that they put in a scene (with one notable exception in her career a long time ago.), doesn't have the tired beaten down by porn feeling about her, isn't on her last minute of fame, hasn't resorted to circus acts, and has maintained her looks much much MUCH better with age than anybody there, (in addition to just always being better looking than anybody else on the list even in the past) she takes it.
