Dave, by far. Syd Barrett was great, but not really that great, I don't know why you all consider him some kind of god. I have been also until a few days ago, but then I realised that his guitar work is not good at all. Ahh, the lyrics, well, that's a different story. He should have continued as PF lyricst, but then we wouldn't have the almighty Roger.

But he's not a very good guitar player. In his solo albums, on one of his songs, I don't remember which one, he hits this truly awfull chord, ugh.

Since this is in the guitar forum I'm just guessing the question is "who is more talented in playing?" In that case, its definitely Gilmour. But in terms of imagination and lyrics I would definitely give it to Syd. I think Syd was much better at making entire musical pieces (songs) than Dave. In terms of who had a better voice its really hard to say, both of them have very good voices but if I had to pick one it'd be Dave. So I think its more of a taste thing than just looking at the "facts": you have Barrett who was much more skilled at the whole area of producing and creating music, a good writer of lyrics and a good singer in his own right, and then you have Gilmour who was much more skilled at the actual guitar playing and solo writing and had a really good voice but didn't do much of anything else.

Dave murders Syd at guitar. They're in completely different leagues.

As a guitarist-clearly David Gilmour (pointless to refute it)

As an artist - Syd Barrett (this is actually more important)

no way. dave couldn't write a song as good as "flaming" if he got help from every song writer on the planet.
