Good call, Aiwendil. Here it is:

For Fëanor beheld the hair of Galadriel with wonder and delight. He begged three times for a tress, but Galadriel would not give him even one hair. These two kinsfolk, the greatest of the Eldar of Valinor, were unfriends for ever.

Here's another pertinent quote from the same chapter in
Unfinished Tales:
Quote:

Galadriel was the greatest of the Noldor, except Fëanor maybe, though she was wiser than he, and her wisdom increased with the long years.

That still doesn't eliminate Thingol or Luthien, but I think we can safely say that if either of them had been "greater" Tolkien would likely have mentioned it.
By the way, Galadriel and I are getting married. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
