Chuck Dixon could have a serious case made for him being the best Punisher writer ever. Ennis' Welcome Back Frank and of course MAX were both excellent, but the Marvel Knights ongoing that came between them has aged like milk (excluding some bright spots that are alright). Dixon's run only ever falls subpar when Dixon had editorial shit forced on him (crossovers with other books, team-ups with mandatory guest characters, or maybe most notably when they cancelled the whole line and made Dixon wrap everything up). When he was just writing pure classic Punisher stories about revenge and comeuppance no one was ever better and only a few were equal (Ennis being one of those of course). The heights of his run rank among the best Punisher stories ever told to this day.
