Here's a twist; All my favourite guitarists are such just because of their songwriting. Not really into the whole showoff/wank/virtuoso think (whatever you choose to call it).
If I had to choose one highly talented one I'd pick Jon Gomm (listen to his song Passionflower on YT for reference), since he is the one I listen to bring my head down from the clouds when I think I've gotten better at guitar :P

He's a fucking amazing guitarist and an even better man.

Saying Robert Plant has a better voice than Freddie Mercury is a matter of taste. Both had impressive ability, while Mercury being the butt punker he was, was able to hit higher, more grand notes. Robert Plant had the ability to give his voice a lot of character by yelling really loud. At this point in my life, I've heard enough of both that I can't stand to hear either of them anymore
No one is better than Kevin Shields in my opinion. Him and My Bloody Valentine did some of the most innovative work with guitars ever in my opinion

Clearly your opinion is shit if you actually think that.
I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before
that I didn’t really understand any of their work, though on their last album of the 1970s,
the concept-laden And Then There Were Three (a reference to band member Peter
Gabriel, who left the group to start a lame solo career), I did enjoy the lovely “Follow
You, Follow Me.” Otherwise all the albums before Duke seemed too artsy, too
intellectual. It was Duke (Atlantic; 1980), where Phil Collins’ presence became more
apparent, and the music got more modern, the drum machine became more prevalent
and the lyrics started getting less mystical and more specific (maybe because of Peter
Gabriel’s departure), and complex, ambiguous studies of loss became, instead,
smashing first-rate pop songs that I gratefully embraced. The songs themselves seemed
arranged more around Collins’ drumming than Mike Rutherford’s bass lines or Tony
Banks’ keyboard riffs. A classic example of this is “Misunderstanding,” which not only
was the group’s first big hit of the eighties but also seemed to set the tone for the rest of
their albums as the decade progressed. The other standout on Duke is “Turn It On
Again,” which is about the negative effects of television. On the other hand, “Heathaze”
is a song I just don’t understand, while “Please Don’t Ask” is a touching love song
written to a separated wife who regains custody of the couple’s child. Has the negative
aspect of divorce ever been rendered in more intimate terms by a rock ‘n’ roll group? I
don’t think so. “Duke Travels” and “Dukes End” might mean something but since the
lyrics aren't printed it’s hard to tell what Collins is singing about, though there is
complex, gorgeous piano work by Tony Banks on the latter track. The only bummer
about Duke is “Alone Tonight,” which is way too reminiscent of “Tonight Tonight Tonight”
from the group’s later masterpiece Invisible

Who is the best guitarist? Who knows? Best guitarist in what aspect? There are many to thing about. Besides, there are people you've never heard of that are just as good, and sometimes better than all of the people mentioned in this thread. There are also an infinite amount of instruments and sounds when talking about music. All these gay threads are is a way for your average everyday pleb to get behind someone who they perceive to be "something", in a desperate attempt feel part of something that they will never individually be.
