Which of these talented ladies did the best work for Mr. Leigh in a feature film?
I tried to only include obviously leading performances, and performances that are borderline lead / support.

Nobody is on Blethyn's level. And I love most Leigh female leads. Blethyn is just top 20 GOAT.

Staunton is in a class all on her own.

just watched Vera Drake for the first time last night and Staunton was excellent, but I give a slight edge to Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky if it were what I consider leads. But I voted Manville in Another Year even though I categorize her as supporting

Imelda Staunton all day every day. One of the greatest performances of all time.

Hawkins, followed closely by Manville. Blethyn and Staunton are both overrated IMO. They both go over the top and become almost cartoony in their respective films, but I love them both when they're not crying hysterically.
