Here, i choose Howe, for his energy and diversity,
Fripp is a beast, but just a beast...
Zappa is the best.

Zappa beats easily few of these, he's absolutely one of the greatest. But even if Zappa included I'd vote Fripp.

There are so many guitarists in the world that naming the missing ones is a useless sport.

Zappa is not in this poll? well there's no McLaughlin, Gilmour, Banks, Phillips, Blackmore....a lot of people who could have got some votes in a poll like this, but they are not in this poll, so why mentioning them?

Let's stick on the four in scope.

Hackett...
He was both good with Genesis, and with his solo stuff.
Played many styles and collaborated with quite some different musicians.
Is a great instrumentalist, both electrified and acoustic.
Has been relevant through many decades.

Add Martin Barre, and you have the list of my all time favorite guitarists. 

I can't choose which one I like the best. All of them have their own style, signature, sound and personality (in music), so it's imposible to say who is the best, and I love their work over the years, so I cannot choose one over the other.

Luckily, I'm still a newbie so I cant vote on this terrible torture.
I like Robert Fripp for his exsperimentation and those guitar patterns on Fram by Frame just blow my mind!I like Seve Hackett because he just adds so much atmosphere to Genesis.
And I like Steve Howe because he, well, I just like him, I can't think of a spesific reason, he's just an all arround fantastic player.
However, I've never heard of Camel, so I don't know on that one.

I'd easily choose Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte finds itself on my play list more often than any of the actual Genesis albums (though not as much as Gabriel's Melt).

To be honest my least favorite Is Hackett, although I like him a lot both in genesis and his solos stuff, he never really done something that made me go crazy, like Fripp or Hendrix usually does. But this is only my taste.

Based upon his consistently excellent solo output, Hackett as a career whole vote.

I simply don't understand why so many members of this forum revere Hackett so much.  His contributions to Genesis were seemingly minimal; mostly consisting of not being Michael Rutherford on guitar.  He was hugely influenced by Fripp, especially early on, but his playing displays none of the groundsbreaking ideas or technical facility that RF's does.  And Then There Were Three clearly displays that his guitar was not essential to the "classic" Genesis sound.

Wow--couldn't disagree with you more but goes to show prog lovers have all sorts of opinions. All the truly great Genesis music involves Hackett---And then there were three suffers from lack of Hackett---he was influenced by Fripp early on but the style he developed is nothing like Fripp---He plays what many consider to be the greatest prog guitar solo ever on Firth of Fifth---he developed guitar styles that many have sited as an influence---and his solo work is amazing----and live he gives the best prog concerts today that anyone is doing---sorry you don't get him. But you are right he is revered here.
