You can vote for three directors, but you don't have to.

I voted for Young so far, maybe I'll vote for one or two more.

I voted for Terence Young, Lewis Gilbert & Peter Hunt. Guy Hamilton deserves a mention for Goldfinger.

I actually like John Glen too but he never seems to get much love nowadays.

I gave a vote to John Glen. He's always been one of my favourite Bond directors, and I enjoy all his films, especially the Roger Moore ones. I also like how each of his Bond films are unique.

Lewis Gilbert and Guy Hamilton get my vote as well.

Terence Young and Lewis Gilbert certainly. I'm torn between Guy Hamilton and Peter Hunt for third place. Goldfinger is my favourite Bond film, but Hunt never had a DAF or TMWTGG to ruin his reputation.

Lewis Gilbert and Guy Hamilton got my first two votes. It's a tough choice for third but I gave John Glen a vote because I enjoy the Roger era and like the two Dalton movies.

I voted for Young, Hunt, and Glen. The last was a tough call: I thought of choosing Hamilton since he basically set the template for the rest of the series in Goldfinger, but the rest of his films are just too light for my taste. Glen at least had a willingness to hark back to Fleming elements and tried to incorporate them as much as he could. In terms of action narrative, he also delivered in that department, although I think he was past his sell-by-date with AVTAK. Broccoli should have switched directors then, or at least at the time Dalton was cast for Living Daylights.
