Kobe won three rings with Shaq, a dominant big man. Kobe is extremely talented but he is mentally flawed. I also like Wayde but he's a slasher and a huge reason why he's breaking out is because of the interior presence of the Heat. Take away those interior players and he doesn't dominate the way he has been of late. James is with out a doubt the best of the three and he also has the most upside but I'd still take a big man over those three any day.
Dominate big men are few and far between these days which makes them all the more valuable. I think you'd also have to take into consideration how you would build around your anchor. It would be easier to find athletic wing players that can slash and fill the lanes than it would be to find complimentary big's that have decent footwork let alone be able to catch the ball. Big guys like Duncan and Garnett are much, much harder to find than an athletic 6'6 guy.
