I like your list. Never heard of some of the commanders, shame on me.
One can discuss rankings all the time, I will not do that. Alexander f.e. is my favorite, too.
Only one thought: perhaps you can change Stilicho with Arminius? The former won a few battles and thus played for time but the latter expelled the Romans from the new founded province Germania, must have been a very good general and perhaps changed history a lot more than other persons mentioned in the list. Wether this was a good thing is quite debatable but that's another story.
