EVH was the ultimate GOAT. There will never be another one like him.

There is no “best” for guitar players. They’re all unique with their own particular style. Eddie is one of the greatest guitarist ever along with Jimi Hendrix, Zack Wild, Randy Rhodes, Roy Clark and many more mentioned in the comments. It’s all with what you want out of your music and what you enjoy.
