Nicky Hopkins: played on "You Got the Silver," "Loving Cup," "Jigsaw Puzzle," and so much more. Toured with the Stones from '68-'73.
Ian Stewart: The original 6th Stone -- though chronologically he was, in fact, the second. Plays on "Brown Sugar," "Sweet Virginia," "Stop Breaking Down," and almost every Stones album pre-1986, including the truly awful ones.
So -- Nicky has the advantage of only being a Stone during their prime, but Stu stuck with them through thick and thin and even "Undercover."
I think I gotta give it to Nicky, just for "No Expectations." But it's tough.

As this thread indicates, session guys continue to get no love.

Ian Stewart was just unattractive.
Though Ian Stuart did get his start in a Stones cover band, if I remember right.

...to the original question: Nicky
God, his playing on "Loving Cup" is just resplendent.
