Bon jovi is awful, the music is just soo cliche and bad. Jimi Hendrix, Clapton were both amazing...Allman obviously also, although like Hendrix didn't have much time. I would say Allman and now Derek Trucks are the best two slide guitarists while Jimi, SRV, Slowhand, BB King, Buddy guy, Santana and new guys would be John Frusciante or John Mayer as up and coming. Both these new young guys play with tons of expression, it rocks.

To call Bon Jovi a blues-rock player is a disgrace to blues
He didn't play the guitar and is the reason rock died.
To call Angus Young a blues-rock player is an insult to blues and Angus wouldn't like it either. His sound was more punk/hard rock
Among the rest, I'd say Jimi and Clapton would be heads and shoulders above the rest, althought none of them could hold a candle to the real Blues guitarists
1) Albert King (listen to Born Under A Bad Sign)
2) Stevie Ray Waughn (go and buy Live at Carnegie Hall album right now)
3) Elmore James
4) Buddy Guy
I'm partial to electric blues so Robert Johnson doesn't appear in the top five.

I don't consider Angus Young or Tony Iommi to be "blues-rock" guitar players (and I am a blues-rock guitar player!). Angus Young is "Australian boogie" to me, and Tony Iommi is prototype heavy metal. I love Jimi Hendrix's music, and he and Eric Clapton have heavily influenced me, especially Eric Clapton. As to who is my favorite, I don't have a favorite - I just have the ones I like, and that is a long list that is incomplete here: Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout, Lance Lopez, Snowy White, Coco Montoya, John Earl Walker, and many more.

From that list:
Eric Clapton, with Duane Allman a close second.
I won't go into who is and isn't "blues-rock".
You know what opinions are like.

Of all the people you mentioned, and yes, this is a curious list of "blues-rock players", Duane Allman is my favorite. His Side playing is equalled by very few.
