I'm sure all of them were effective by the work of Pythagoras and the Greek pythagorean movement. However, I think Kepler was more effected and eventually more successful with the Greek scientfic methods. Specifically, Pythagoras' work on transcendental harmonies.
Tycho Brahe, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton all approached the science of astronomy from an imperialistic standpoint. Their hypotheses and conclusions were all based on imperical observations, raw data and they would often avoid contradictions and anomalies by creating ridiculous mathematical formulas to explain them using circular arguments. Kepler's approach was much different. He strived to understand the principles causing the motions of the planets, which later he discovered was based on harmonic proportions. He captured his discovery in his famous work, "The Harmony of the World."
