Matt, it's not a question of "most effect". You just can't steer a bike
without counter-steering. The bike just goes it's own way.
Body position, leaning etc help to maintain lean angles and other
aspects, but only counter-steering can initiate a turn. Certainly you
can improve your cornering by body position, but you must understand and
practice counter-steering to initiate a change of course. Where you
are on a bike can influence the lean angle (witness the Trials guys and
slow-racers) but can't make it take a new direction.
Of course, at this point we are just picking nits.

If you use only one, yes counter steering has the most affect. Using
both will get you the most out of your turning.
