From a technical standpoint, I couldn't say...but as far as their music goes, I'd go with:
1- Malmsteen, though not very diverse in his songwriting and most of his lyrics are cheesy, has a great sense of melody and I like his neo-classical sound.
2- Satch's albums tend to drone on for me, but every now and again he pulls out a melodic masterpiece.
3- I like Vai's sound and I commend him for experimenting with different styles and effects, but in the end most of his work lacks the melody I desire, and the goofy vocal samples he uses sometimes...like in 'Little Green Men'...nah, no thanks.
