They are two completely different animals. Davies could write a riff 1000 times better than Taylor but Taylor plays guitar way better than Dave. There really isn't a comparison. Dave is more comparable to Keith.

Technically it is pretty close. But Dave would edge out Mick Taylor. Dave was extremely versatile and able to do fluid runs, crunching leads, understated, blues, punk, ballroom style. He could do it all. A very talented guitarist that created some of the most original leads. His fret work on Arthur is innovative and extraordinary. Long fluid solos that are like ragas. He was a fantastic slide player, dobro player, acoustic, and of course a powerful lead player. Punk, blues, ragtime, ballads, eastern style (before The Beatles! See My Friends has a very beautiful and complex lead).
I love Taylor with most everyone he has played with. He is though mostly a blues/rock player. With a tinge of some latin influences on certain songs. Dave is more versatile, and a good singer and writer as well. Brilliant and highly underrated.
