I've got carpal tunnel too so it hurts to have to hold the strings down.... hurts to game too but as I die every 15 seconds or so I can stop for a min and stretch the hands... there's nothing wrong with liking different music types. Lets just say I've been to concerts that run the spectrum of music... from James Taylor to Kiss... not to mention others I won't name for fear of being beat up.... but you are right there's no way to compare musicians... it's all subjective.... could Jimi Hendrix have played Crazy Train? Hell no, technically he wasn't that good but that doesnt mean he wasnt one of the best ever because of his creativeness etc. You always have people like him and EVH (who can play) that do something no one has seen before. Doesnt mean that no one else can do it but if they try to replicate it they are standing on the back of a giant and claiming to be tall. It cracks me up when some one says so and so is the best. Like Eddie or Yngwie have something that is their trademark i.e. tapping and sweep picking. I've seen Zakk demonstrate both of those. He can do it but why would he? You arent going to make a name for yourself doing that. I think what makes a guitarist elite is that you can tell immediately who it is. Like Zakk has the pinch harmonics. You know it's him after the first bar. Anyway.... it's fun to talk about but there is no way to say one person is the best. You can say one of or arguably but no way can you say definetly the best.
