Those who have suggested:

Alistair Reynolds
Stephen Baxter
Peter Hamilton
Richard Morgan
Ian M Banks

are hereby seconded. I also somewhat enjoy SM Stirling, although a good editor who reduced some of the fat would make the books much better.

Charles Stross does some excellent hard SF; so also does Jack McDevitt. Sean McMullen's Greatwinter trilogy (Souls in the Great Machine, The Miocene Arrow, and Eyes of the Calculor) is excellent in every way. Neal Asher has his moments as well.
