Robert Fripp followed by Gilmour then Zappa. Here's another way of putting it:
3. Zappa
2. Gilmour
1. Fripp

Voted for Fripp from this list since I was asked about "best" (would have gone with Hackett if asked about favourite) but my pick would be Mc Laughlin though like somebody else pointed out w.r.t Holdsworth, he's a fusion jazz guitarist. I got Remember Shakti's Saturday Night in Bombay album a week back and am comprehensively blown away. Many people here may not be familiar with the names of the Indian musicians who performed in that recital but they are really weighty names for me and that McLaughlin was so completely at home in their midst is stunning. I have since been telling anybody who did or didn't care to hear  that said performance was ten miles or so from my place and I missed it then because I wasn't at all into serious music of any kind.

If by 'best' you mean who was the most 'progressive, experimental etc' then..
Fripp
Zappa
Hackett & Howe equally..
If by 'best' you mean favourite, then probably Alex Lifeson, Frank Zappa, and Andy Latimer.

David Gilmour can get more emotion out of one phrase than most guitarists can get out of a whole song. He is the greatest off this list.

Funnily enough, as I was walking to the train station this morning on the way to work, I started thinking abouT this as I was listening to the long guitar solo in Dogs from the Animals album, and I just thought it had to be Dave Gilmour. He may not be the fastest, most technical or experimental, but I just love his style and the emotion he can wring out of that instrument.
Another personal favourite is Andy Latimer. I also loved Rothery's style on the first few Marillion albums.

Ridiculously hard poll, I picked Hackett because he had the least votes of my top 3 (Hackett, Fripp, and Howe).

I'll go with Steve Rothery since he deserves way more votes.

1. Fripp
2. Zappa
Gilmour is better than average blues-rock guitarist not too much connected with prog
