I voted for John. One reason is because of the beautiful lyrical playing he has displayed, for example on his tribute to Bill Evans.

But none of the above is actually my favorite. That's probably John Scofield

I love John McLaughlin, He's my favorite hands down. My favorite song he has performed is probably "Spain"

[Jhail83]

Voted for Al di Meola. One of my favorites period.

[AxlVanHagar]

It was a toss up between Al and John for me. In the end I went Al.
