In terms of an actual Band guitarist rather an a showman I would probably go with John Petrucci simply because you never hear a bad guitar song that he plays in and especialy with Dream theatre and Liquid Tension he works very well with the keyboard is to create songs that with 99% of other guitarists you would need atleast 2 to pull off.
exactly
thats why i picked petrucci
on the "Liquid Trio Experiment - When the Keyboard Breaks (Live in Chicago)" album, petrucci & portnoy & some other bassist dude 
improvised a whole concert!! 
but yea, i think he's the best guitarist ever actually
