Hackett. His solo albums are really exquisite, continuing the complex arrangements of Genesis, but in new ways and diversity of style.

I think that's a major point.  Most of us have probably heard one of the interviews with Steve Howe where he talks about not wanting to play in any style that had been associated with rock before.  He really created something unique in the world of rock and while I much prefer Hackett's style, I can't imagine him playing "The Clap" or even "Roundabout".

Hackett. I recall being badly disappointed with Howe's solo efforts.

Hackett's albums are better overall, but Howe has produced several fine ones.  As guitarists (even though this is not the question) they are equals.  Ying Yang

Clearly Hackett's solo work is way better as he is a solo artist--Howe's work is mainly with groups---but I love them both as players---equally---the two steves are may favorites.

Definitely Hackett...he's released several jewels.  The only Steve Howe solo album I like all the way through is Beginnings.

I mean solo albums, not their guitar soloing skills.
