Well no SRV so I put Hendrix, but Page B.B. and Clapton probably influenced my style more.

I'm in the same boat (or boot, as they'd say in Canada), SRV is by far my favorite bluesman, which would put him at the top of my favorite guitarist list as well (though I tip my hat to Jimi and Clapton). However, since cross-genre comparison of guitarists is like comparing apples and oranges, I also would have to give a nod to Steve Vai, who I'd consider to be the most knowledgeable of all things guitar and plays incredible music that I can listen to for all of three minutes before I'm sick of it. Malmsteen is in that same category.
While Jimmy Page was incredible and incorporated all sorts of styles into his work, he sounded a little sloppy on some solos compared to Clapton and (even) SRV. Don't get me wrong, he's still one of my guitar heroes, but still... My only knock on Randy Rhoads is that he died before he became truly incredible. He wrote some of the most creative sounding solos for the metal genre I've ever heard, nothing Zakk Wylde has done can approach it, (though I respect him quite a bit as well as both a musician, and as a man who could snap my spine like balsa wood).
As an aside, I think for the most part many guitarists overlook who I think in the future is going to turn into a Clapton figure, John Mayer. While his songs are the pinnacle of lame, his live sets are pretty much just him jamming in an incredible, Hendrix-esque fashion (check out a live set on yahoo.com if you don't believe me).
