Hendrix´s technique was flawed, BH´s is immaculate and you almost never see him make any mistakes. I would say BH is one of the most prolific guitar player ever having released 30+ albums over the last 20 years, on those albums he does a lot more than just shredding. His latest album is acoustic driven for example and its a masterpiece.
BTW sorry for the postponed reply ive been busy and sort of forgot about this thread...

You're wrong by saying that Hendrix's playing was "flawed". All guitar players shouldn't not be judged by one rule book, the same goes for all music. It's an art form, not a spitting contest. people don't get into to music just to try and spit farther than someone else; maybe some do, but to me that seems like a rather stupid reason to get into music.
