My personal opinion is that Edge plays for the song, and that's a huge, selfless thing to do for a guitar player. It's also necessary in a band setup like U2.
Gilmour plays for the song, Her Majesty, motherf*cking G.O.D. himself, and perhaps some aliens watching us from millions of lightyears away.
A more fair and interesting topic would have been 'Who has better compositional skills?'.
Edge has a fantastic ear for melody and sound, and the way Gilmour composes his solos (improvising and then cutting up the bars of music and rearranging them into something coherent) is very intriguing.
