For raw numbers, Wilt Chamberlain. One of Wilt's keys to success was his conditioning. He would be able to stay on the court and play at a high level while his competitors would tire out. That enabled him to put up huge numbers.

For skill level it is Jerry Lucas. Moses Malone and Dennis Rodman rebounded by desire and hustle. Jerry Lucas rebounded by his mind. He studied rebounding like no other player. He knew where the ball was going to bounce if it missed and positioned himself for the rebound. He studied different player's shots. Lucas is 4th all time in rebounds per game and one of two players to average 20 ppg and 20 rpg in a season.
