Overall IMHO it's useless to argue about which players are "best". Green and Hendrix had rather different approaches, both neither was into "cutting contests" and there surely was mutual admiration there.

Actually Peter Green was not afraid to "jam" with anyone, nor was Hendrix. I'm sure you've heard the Peter Green banter at the Boston Tea Party 2/70 about English guitarists who are too afraid to show their chops against one-another, just before Joe Walsh plays with FM for a "jam"? Peter Green certainly had no problems playing with Duane Allman, he jammed with him after leaving FM in 11/70.
If you listen to the tapes (Grateful Dead/Allman Brothers/ certain FM members), from the Fillmore East 2/11/70, Owsley Stanley (Bear) cuts out Peter Green on many occasions to make Jerry Garcia sound like he was there. If you really hear the Dark Star-Spanish Jam-Turn On Your Lovelight jam, it became a Duane Allman/Peter Green jam. Yet if you hear how Bear mixed the recording, he gave Duane Allman the advantage.
