In terms of personal preference, which one will you choose?
I'd have to go with DG here.

I predict Gilmour will win this one easily. He gets my vote of course.

Zep pretty much carried me through junior high school

While Zep is awesome, few (if any) guitarists mean more to me than David Gilmour.

I like Page but Gilmore better.  I can't explain why.

I like Gilmour a lot, but he never did anything as awesome as White Summer.

Gilmour or Page ?
 
Numb or Kashmir ?
 
Mmmmm... Hard call for me but Gilmour gets the vote.
 
Both brilliant in their own style and legends.

Both have such great and unique styles... but my vote has to go to Gilmour.  I love his tones and he never over indulges.  He also a very clean and vocal guitarist, whereas Jimmy is more about nitty gritty playing, which I also love, I just prefer Gilmour's style overall... very hard choice though, nice poll DT-PT Wink.

Gilmour, no doubt.
 
Page is a good guitarist, however most of his solos never stuck in me.

Thanks. Smile
 
And yes, that is pretty much my thoughts on this. It also annoys me when people say Gilmour can't play fast. Just because he doesn't play fast doesn't mean he can't.

Shred guitar or shredding refers to lead electric guitar playing that relies heavily on fast guitar solos.

Both are great, but I'll go with Jimmy so he doesn't go down so hard.
