For me it was Mark Shaw, but specifically from "First Issue Special."
I honestly think Kirby had a lot of passion for that version of that character, based on the little essay he wrote in the back of the issue, and it sucks how the character got sucked up into convoluted DC lore with the Guardians and all that stuff not much later.

Mark Shaw for me in Justice League of America #140-150
Kirk DePaul in his introductory comic where he fought Nightwing.
Golden Age costumed Paul Kirk, in the reprints of the Simon/Kirby stories that appeared as backups in the original New Gods series. I believe issue 6 had the first reprint
