Favorite solo: Tornado of Souls by Marty Friedman (or one of my fav's)

Favorite guitarist: ^ ^ or Paul Gilbert, as far as electric. In the acoustic world, definitely Armik. Hes a flamenco great.

Pure, you need to understand that all of those threads were a long time ago. Most people dont use the search, and for this kind of "Favorite's" there is not need to. Every 6 months, a wave of new memebers come and old ones go. (and you seem to be in the our new one)Therefore, the results are never the same (besides your Hendrix, Van Halen, Vai...ect). Also most of the newest memebers create these kind of threads to get an outlook on the site's memebers. I know I did. My first thread was "Your Dream Guitar".
