'All u Randy lovers dont like real metal what Zakk is all about.'
You realise that Randy wasn't purely a metal guitarist like Zakk, he was more of a classical musician who played in a metal band, Randy was more of a musical pioneer the way he introduced classical elements in his playing. -

Randy Rhoads was one of the most amazing guitar players of all time, bar none. Imagine what he would have done if not for his tragic death.
Each and every guitar player that Ozzy has worked with are incredible in their own ways from Tony Iommi, Jake E Lee, Zack Wylde and even Joe Holmes.
Ozzy can sure pick em. -

As a lifetime Ozzy fan I don't think this is really a fair question. I personally wouldn't put Jake E Lee into the equasion. To compare Randy and Zakk is in my opinion impossible. They are 2 completely different styled guitarists. Zakk is a take no prisoner no holds barred guitarist that is extremely talented. Randy was a classically trained musician that was a total perfectionist. Even at the time of his untimely death he was still learning. I can honestly say if his life was not cut short he would have been the best performer to ever pick up a guitar.
All in all to be fair they are definately 2 of the best! -

I'd say randy simply because during his time he was a pioneer. Although Zakk's music is heavier that doesn't necessarily make him a better gutiarist. But at the end of the day i have to say the Jake E Lee had the best sounding solo when it comes to bark at the moon.

I think Randy was the best, because even now ozzy recognizes that Rhoads was the best guitarist (and musician) he ever met, he was technically gifted and extremely talented for his age, and has been a deep source of inspiration for a lot of other guitarists(zakk himself, dimebag, malmsteen, etc).
Zakk himself has said he will never be as good as randy

No disrespect to Zakk, without Randy, there is no Zakk Wylde !!! HELL, there's no Ozzy solo career without Randy. To that one anus that said Zakk is metal and Randy was classic rock, listen to metal back in 80, 81, 82. Blizzard and Diary were metal as metal got, the music and sound has evolved over the years. All of his guitarist have been great.
Jake E Lee, his attitude sucked, but I wonder what Bark at the Moon and Ultimate Sin would have sounded like if he had chosen Warren DeMartini or George Lynch over Jake. Matter of fact, what would have Dokken or Ratt sounded like if that happened ?
How many forgot that Bernie Torme was the first guitarist in Ozzy's band after Randy died. Only to be replaced by Brad Gillis shortly afterwards.
