The three of these guys more or less sound the same anyway and despite their differences, dabble in the same roots. Classic rock, chords, folk, etc. I wish they would have had some variety. Add some funk guitar, some soul, some laid back riffs.

I don't know about the other two, but Page was influenced by the Blues and Classical Music.
Page's roots certainly aren't classic rock...Led Zeppelin helped create classic rock. Although he did play with several major classic rock groups as a session player (Prior to Led Zeppelin and The Yardbirds) - The Who, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, etc.
It's impossible to say who the #1 guitarist of all time is. Everybody has a different opinion, and that's OK...that's what makes it fun.
In no particular order...some legends that must be considered:
John Petrucci (Dream Theater) deserves consideration as well...amazing guitarist.
I'm out of control here, I keep thinking of guitarists....check out Maneli Jamal, he gets such a uniquely beautiful sound out of his guitar. He's Canadian as well!
All that said....time to go make my pick in the guitar tab draft!
