Levin is definitely the best suited.

But Gunn's work should not be discounted, dammit!  Him and Mastelotto are underrated monsters.

Apples and Oranges.  Besides, there aren't too many here who are familiar with Trey Gunn outside of King Crimson. Check out the Joy of Molybdenum or One Thousand Years before you comment. 

While Levin is one of the best session/hired sideman to walk the planet, Trey Gunn is a master of the Warr (touch) guitar. Levin pretty much sticks to the bass line, while Trey treds the grounds conventionally covered only by guitarists and keyboardists. Give each his due. They are both as different from the other as day and night.

Also, I don't consider Trey Gunn merely as a bassist. If I wanted a bass player, I'd get Jonas Hellborg.

Gunn is more spiritual and difficult to listen. Levin's plaing is pure rythm and fun.

Gunn is a genius instrumentalist, Levin only a genius bassist.
