Tony Iommi or Jimmy Page?

I can agree with what surell said. When it came to working it the studio, it seems that page was a pretty thought out guy. His guitar playing showed some structure and planning compared to people like Hendrix and iommi. Those guys were just kind of all over the place, based more on improvisation.

Who would you guys say is more technical?

Page by a fair amount. Sure the early stuff was really just pentatonic wanking but his production method and later compositions show some serious technical virtuosity.

The average Sabbath riff might be a bit more technically demanding than the average Led Zep riff but I can't think of anything Iommi composed that compares to something like Achilles Last Stand.
