Fripp, mainly due to the various genre jumps with King Crimson. More musical styles means more things to do with the guitar.

For me it is between Fripp and Howe. Both amazing players in their own respect, and while I only seen Fripp play live via videos (which does not do justice to physically being there), I can however say that Howe has not lost a step, and still plays with the same level of tenacity as his younger days. Now as for studio/solo work, something I know a lot about by both gentlemen, well I think I'd go with Fripp. Like KCY said above, the numerous genres touched on by Fripp adds nice variety when listening to KC. On the other hand, Howe incorporates the acoustic guitar a lot more, which is a whole different instrument really...
It is to hard to decide right now, I'm going to go to work to give me some time to weigh the options.... *Voted Fripp after I had time to think it out.

Hackett, I've just always loved his playing. Howe and Fripp a close second and third.

Hackett has been the most active in recent years, and has been producing consistently good material of late - even better than he was in the heyday of Genesis.

Hackett because of his stuff in Genesis and he probably had the more prolific, celebrated solo career out of the four. Fripp's probably my second because of the stuff he did with Eno and The League Of Gentlemen.

A guitarist poll without Zappa... i love imagination!
Here, i choose Howe, for his energy and diversity, Fripp is a beast, but just a beast... Zappa is the best. |

Fripp's guitar work is just ... I mean he helped the evolution of prog metal and prog New Wave. He also contributed to electric ambient guitar music. His output with KC, PG, and Eno ... . As far as I can see, Hackett is better than him when both are solo, but Fripp in KC against Hackett in Genesis ... beat that. Voting for Fripp.
