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.

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

I chose Blackmore. He's definitely my favorite guitarist when it comes to soloing.

From this list I chose Gilmour. Maybe if I were in a different mood I would have chose Fripp. I love Gilmour`s About Face album. Think I gave it 5 in a review here.
