It really is no contest between Garvey and Hodges.  Truth be told, I didn't like Garvey when I was a kid because of his arrogance, but I loved his play.

I didn't appreciate his presence until he was traded to the Padres.

Still, the stats don't lie.

And, while I give Tony Perez a hard time for making it to the HOF, his longevity (and pennants and World Series rings) could be a reason why voters went for him vs. Hodges and Garvey.  Personally, I would vote in Hodges.  I would not vote in Garvey.
