Hendrix had the better music and was more inspirational and a trend setter, I'll give you that, but was known to be a sloppy and lazy player that overused the fuzz box. SRV was just more technical and clean and that's to be expected because by the 80s a few guitarist had surpassed Hendrix. Hendrix was just more experimental and made better music but he was not a better guitarist by any stretch. Either way, I probably wouldn't put Hendrix or SRV in the top 10 all time unless we are talking about top 10 inspirational guitarist then Jimi would be number 1.
