Wakeman is the choice if classical piano and composition is what you look for. Emerson is your choice is you like your piano with a jazzy touch.

For this one I must concede that Minnear loses to Wakemen. I love Minnear's work with GG, not only was the man a brilliant soloist but he also knew how to COMPLIMENT the music, rather than simply dominate it like Emerson would tend to, but Wakeman's piano work is far better than Minnear's... That might just be becuase Minnear didn't play so many piano pieces - GG compositions were always full band affairs - but I have to hand this one to Wakeman.
