No - it would not be Lance Armstrong (I know its not popular, and indeed Armstrong is phenomenal)
I am not really into such rankings - but I would have to say Miguel Indurain is my favorite: he is about my age, was at his peak when I started being interested, he is a big tall guy, and he is humble and quiet. So he is not only a great rider, but seems a nice person as well.
As far as achievements goes: He was the first to win the Tour De France five times in a row from 1991 to 1995, he built his participation in the Tour from 1985.
He won the Giro Italia in 1992 and 1993, participated in Vuelta a España and all sorts of other races he did, not focused only on the Tour De France which is the most famous and most prestigious of all grand Tours (of which Armstrong is very good, not only in the race, but also in the whole marketing scene around it)
JUST A THOUGHT.....
