I think that any list with "best" in the title if listed by individuals is naturally going to be completely subjective. Everyone has different taste in music, and what might be a splendid, technically sound solo in most respects may still not sound all that great to everyone. Likewise, some solos may not be the most dynamic, but they may evoke a stronger emotional response from some people than others. Ah, music.
Here is my entirely subjective list of guitar solos:
(In no particular order)
Phish - Run Like an Antelope
Richard Thompson - Gethsemane
Queen - Innuendo
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Manic Depression
Trey Anastasio - 18 Steps
Gov't Mule - Thorazine Shuffle
The Allman Brothers Band - Jessica
The Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station, Pt. 1
