My two cents, Schilling is in the same league as "the best of the best".

Part of the problem is that Schilling was very outspoken as a player. Former Phillies GM Ed Wade once said that Schilling was a work horse on days he pitched, and a horse's a$$ on days he didn't. (Come to think of it, some former employers have said the same about me, ha). He was also very outspoken about some of the rulings of MLB. I look at his low induction vote % numbers and I have to believe that's playing a factor.

Here's what this boils down to - game 7 of the World Series. Schilling would be my first choice. His post-season numbers are very compelling. Maddux and Glavine weren't as reliable in the huge games.
