It's obvious that they took three guitarists from different eras. Who else over the last 15 years or so do you think even comes close to qualifying?

No one. The alternative would've been to shoot for 3 legends at a similar level -- say Page, Clapton, and Santana -- but that would have been a very different movie. I think the choices were excellent. The similarities you note between Page and White are interesting, and Edge is a good, contrasting middle-person.
