First DS fic posted:  2000
Full disclosure:  I'm just a fan.
Pairings:  Fraser/Kowalski, Fraser/Vecchio, Kowalski/Turnbull, Fraser/Turnbull, Ray/Ray, Fraser/Turnbull/Kowalski 
Style and Strengths:  I return to Matthew's fanfiction because of the excellent characterizations.  The voices are always distinct and true-to-character, the dialogue is fresh and spot-on, and characters are often taking fascinating journeys of self-discovery.  Sex between characters is fun, joyful, and reverent, while angst is poignant and thought-provoking.
Other DS/C6D activity:  HCL, and other fandoms are represented at the archive site.  There is also matthewhaldemantime.com, which includes original fiction.

Some favorites:

Gratitude  (F/K, R)  Fraser agonizes over his feelings for Ray, endearingly and in-character.  Ray is wonderfully straightforward.  I love this fic, with its first kisses and declarations.

Greatness (Fraser/Vecchio and Kowalski/Turnbull, NC-17) Kowalski must come to terms with things while he heals from injuries with the help of Fraser, Vecchio, Dief, and Turnbull.  I love introspective Kowalski in this fic, and I fell in love with sweet, innocent, endearing Turnbull.

List, List, O, List! (Fraser/Vecchio and Kowalski/Turnbull, R)  This fic has a brilliant mix of story elements: snarky dialogue, guilty Kowalski, and a Turnbull who is very comfortable with who he is.

Ring (Fraser/Turnbull and Ray/Ray, NC-17) I like how three different stories become one here, all handled deftly: a relationship-in-trouble, an endearing but realistic kidfic, and an exploration of fun and kinky sexual dyanmics.  It doesn't seem as if the three things should go together in one piece, but they come together beautifully.

fics on Due South Archive
Fanlore page: http://fanlore.org/wiki/Basingstoke
First DS fic posted: 2000, according to the website
Full disclosure: I don't know Basingstoke at all.
Pairings: Fraser/Vecchio, Fraser/Kowalski, Fraser/Turnbull, Fraser/Kowalski/Turnbull, Kowalski/Turnbull
Style and strengths: Basingstoke's stories are generally not long, but they all pack some kind of punch, whether it be serious, sexy or silly. She's a self-proclaimed non-romantic. The majority of her due South fics are Fraser/Vecchio, and they are unsentimental and usually heart-wrenching, though not without great comic touches. For her Fraser/Kowalski fics, well, "romp" is the word that springs to mind. I like her Kowalski voice, and I like the way her Kowalski seems able to break Fraser out of whatever funk he's in. She has written some dS crossovers, including Sestina, a due South/Homicide series (check the crossovers section of her site) and also has fics in a large number of other fandoms.
Other DS/C6D activity: Basingstoke has written some Hard Core Logo fic.
Some favourites:
Could, Would, Will (F/V) is an aching meditation on Fraser's aloneness, on his aloofness. excerpt )
Bugs and Thorns. (F/K) Ray applies his skills and detects Canadian flirting. excerpt )
Chopsticks and Curling. (K/T) Fraser is heterosexual, but Turnbull isn't. This is a lovely take on RayK/Turnbull. Read the sequels. excerpt )
