Mark Knopfler in terms of styles. He can play Jazz, Blues, Rock, Country and improvise within those "boundaries" and he can mix them too.
I've heard Tommy but no Andreas. Tommy is very good yes but Lindsey combines his palying with popular quirky song playing. Lindsey Travis picking explores other styles like rock, country, folf, flamenco calssical (in a way with Go Insane) the 80's pop, bit of blues in the earlier days. He also has the ability to mould his technique fittingly into other songwriters songs.

Keith Richards
Paul McCartney (yeah, he's known as a bass player, but he's an incredibly versatile guitarist, as well)
Larry Carlton
Lee Ritenour
All the guitarists you mentioned are very good player (Apart from McCartney who is absoloute TRIPE. Great songwriter, singer but the guy can't play guitar to save his life)
