Catcher is tough. You could make the argument that only one is automatic.
I think I'd go:
Bench
Carter
Piazza
Fisk, Berra, and Ivan Rodriguez also have strong cases. But adding them opens the gates to adding a bunch of similar guys like Dickey, Cochrane, and Simmons.
Personally, I'd cut Carter and include Berra, but you did say you were ignoring historical significance.
I'd also take Rodriguez over Carter in a heartbeat, and ultimately likely take Fisk over Carter as well...
