I don't think there is any question that Efren is the one.
At times some people have been better than him in some games, but those people came and went and Efren just stayed...He murdered everybody, playing one pocket for how long? Seems like half a century, but had to be at least a decade and a half? All while winning titles in all games, yes even straight pool. Some people have won titles in all games, like Varner, but I don't think anyone, even Varner has had such a well rounded game in all disciplines for as long as Efren. For at least 2 decades, Efren was not just a contender, but a top 3 favorite in any pool game he showed up for. Don't think anybody has had that kind of record. Not to mention that he plays carom and snooker extremely well, I believe he even won the Asian games playing snooker?
If Efren had Bustis break, I don't think anybody on the planet would have had any sort of chance in Rotation games for about 2 decades! Even with his sub-pro standard break, he still won, in games where the break is 70% of the gameplay. That's the kind of beastly speed he had.
I can think of 10 players off the bat that would mop the floor with him in everyone's respective primes in an all around. IMO, of course
