I can totally understand why you would prefer SRV. But the pioneering factor does come into play with me, I have much respect for B.B. because of that and I'm sure SRV did too.
B.B.'s phrases also ooze with passion and his vibrato is great, too. He was a little more technical than some might think. He was great at adding chord tones in order to really highlight the chord changes.

Thats a pretty good list of names there. I would only add Albert King and Tab Benoit to the list.
