Why would you make us choose between Hackett and Fripp?

Hard to pick which I prefer from the list. I like many of them for different reasons. I would also include the following amongst favorites.
Michael Hedges
Ron Jarzombek
Ron Thaal
Kido Natsuki
Buckethead
Fredrik Thordendahl

Jimmy Page for me, I'm a massive Zeppelin fan.
I've enjoyed music by almost every guitarist on your list at some point.

For me, it's Page. I'm a huge fan of the guitar, and have many favorite guitar moments by almost all of the guitarists mentioned, but no guitarist/artist has taken listeners to the edge and throttled them like Page has.
And I play guitar, and I'm aware of Page's limitations as a guitarist and of the virtuoso abilities the others possess, but still none has done what Page has.

At the moment, Holdsworth.
His use of intervals is mindboggling.

Can't vote. It's impossible. Too many excellent, if not legend, guitarists.

Vote with the pack on this one. Hackett continues to show that he is willing to push the envelope in what he brings to his electric guitar playing. His guest appearance on the Gordian Knot album shows what he had been experimenting with leading up to some unique guitar sounds on his Tokyo Tapes. While Fripp is a close second, I believe Hackett is the primo one on this list...

Either Zappa or Friedman
I the way Zappa plays. He makes up some of the best licks and his sound is just raw. I love it
Then there is friedman who I have loved for a very looong time. Notice my username.
I think I will go with Zappa but I will always have a soft spot for Friedman
