If I were bias, to tell the truth, I'd choose raffles because he sounds hot.
But this is serious homework, which is the real and a big deal, so here goes.
A founder, is one who establishes something or formulates the basis for something, right?
And in my opinion, the founder of singapore is not raffles, farquhar or crawfurd.
Stamford Raffles founded it but there was already a sultanate, meaning someone had already founded Singapore. John Crawfurd only signed the treaty, but that does not mean he founded the island and as for William Farquhar, he only established Singapore and somehow made the country a success.
So basically, Raffles, Crawfurd and Farquhar, just did some 'modification' to Singapore.
Since its stated that Raffles founded the island later than Sang Nila Utama, and that someone before Sang Nila Utama had came to Singapore and established it into a port city, I/we can conclude that no one, not even Sang Nila Utama, founded Singapore.
And as John Crawfurd and William Farquhar basically did some 'modification' to Singapore, I can sum everything up and come up with my final conclusion that Singapore was founded by no none of them, and in fact, nobody.
BUT, I believe that everyone who's names were mentioned in my post, played a part in developing Singapore, and that without them, Singapore would not be the way it is today.
