Choosing the "best" player of any instrument - or any artistic endeavor - is impossible. Best at what? Feel? Tone? Expression? Technique? Technique in what genre? And best tone or feel is entirely subjective. Usually I just interpret these things to mean "who's your favorite." People are competetive about everything, so I think there's always been some sort of "who's the best" as long as music has been around. It's just part of human nature. As to why there might be more of it for guitar, it's probably due to the guitar's popularity. There are so many players, and so much marketing.
