It depends on my mood.
If I want widdly-widdly noodling - Jan Hammer tears it up with Van Halen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntJKtEy5KUc
For something proggy but not so widdly-widdly, the mighty Mist plays a great solo in Grobschnitt's "Otto Pankrock" (Starts at 3:44 but run it from the start for some great 2 guitar interplay)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8zgjCN6JgA
For sheer fun of it, Eno's solo on "Editions of You" is a massive **** YOU to the Wakemans and Emersons. Yay!
(Starts at 1:30)

And this one from Józef Skrzek for Minimoog and Church Organ is sublime:

[edit]
This is probably *the* best solo. Klaus Schulze on screaming Minimoog from "The Dome Event". The solo starts quietly at 50:43. I was lucky to hear him do something similar at his RFH concert in 91.

Snarky Puppy, Lingus.
Currently my fave band of all time. If you have 10 mins just play all of Lingus.
Then buy the album (not available on Amazon) which had this concert in HD on dvd included.

My favourite is John Paul Jones on All Of My Love...short and sweet, but sublime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0DAnu5Sq6k

That is a great sound. Sounds a lot like the big washes in Ultravox tracks. I've no idea about the equipment being used in any of these, I just love that huge sound these guys got out of what must have been fairly primitive equipment. Can anyone enlighten me as to what synth is being used to get that sound?
ARP Odyssey - probably. I heard Midge Ure talking about synths a coupld of years back when Ultravox were back on the road. He said it was much better these days as things were much more reliable. On their last tour (mid 80s) they had almost synths on stage whereas now they only five or six (one for him, one for Chris Cross and three or four for Currie) plus a Macbook each.
Steve Winwood - on John Martyn's 'Small Hours' - easily the best.

Ryo Okumoto (Spock's Beard) has done many amazing solos, this is one of my faves:

Another prog group "Arena" has some great keyboard solos. (Riding the Tid from Contagion)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihFraxCV5HU
But for me it's got to be Steve Hackett and the intro to "Firth of Fifth" by Genesis:
