Jimmy Page
Ok heres why,Page can play many different types of styles,and does it with perfection,he also has many more songs that he either wrote or co-wrote with Robert Plant
Dont get me wrong,Eddie is amazing too.
Jimmy Page because he was really a influential, important, and versatile guitarist and songwriter in rock history
Van Halen could do things Jimmy Page could only dream of. Listen to "Eruption" and you'll know why.

Jimmy Page
Page got no licks on Eddie
EVH, because he invented two handed tapping
That's like comparing apples to oranges. Page is the studio pro, composer and some much more. There are facets to Jimmy that most are not aware of. His use and innovations of alternative tunings, not to mention what he did using the bow. The monster tones & riffs he created are forever immortalized in the first LP alone. Eddie on the other hand will always be acknowledged as the guy his guitar teacher said would have no future in music. He revolutionized the techniques employed by practically every aspiring guitarist from the early 80's on. Quite possible responsible for metal guitar as we know it. Both brilliant and will remain forever Rock & Roll legends
Paul M hit it right on the head. It's like asking "What is better for you, water or air?"
It's not even a question.
