Exactly how do you plan on making that correlation, particularly from this unscientifc and inadequate poll? And, what are your criteria for defining something as subjective and arguably meaningless as "good", who will be the judge, and how do you plan on ascertaining whether you're listening to a given producer's best work, worst work, or somewhere in between?
Most people learn production skills from a variety of sources and I'm quite certain that most experienced producers could answer "all of the above, and then some" to the options you provided. And, you left out some obvious options (e.g., books, forums). But, most importantly, you failed to realize that the amount and type of experience that a producer has had generally has a much greater influence on how good he/she is than the manner in which he/she learned to produce does. There are a ton of great producers who learned primarily through self-instruction and there are a ton of excellent producers who learned primarily through formal training, but most learned the fundamentals through a variety of methods and developed those skills further through years of experience. This poll is not going to differentiate between them or give you any sort of quantitative distribution of "goodness" by instructional method.
