In my (old fahioned?) way of looking at it, awsome = likely to fill with awe. So here's a formula; if a contest were organised (debate / battle / competition, whatever)between any of the greatest Eldar, who would "awe" her/his opponent the most?
Given his track record (crafting jewels; orator to the Noldor in Valinor; fighting Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs) my money's still on Feanor.
He doesn't have to be "good" in a simplistic way. Look at Turin - most awsome man, perhaps, but some serious misdemeanors, not to say personality defects; but isn't that part of being "awsome"?
