I always thought Gilmour is a classy yet modest (for a rock star) gentleman. Waters always seemed the more partisan politically of the two, especially in 'The Final Cut' and his solo works. Both are great talents though.
Although if I could only choose one to have a beer and play some guitar chops with it would be Gilmour.

Did you know that Gilmour was a male model before he joined Floyd? I've got a book somewhere with a French ad featuring DG.
As far as Waters being more partisan -- have you ever seen the Pompeii concert? Waters keeps going on about the great economic collapse during the "candid" scenes.
Then again, we're talking about the guy who's still fussing about Margaret Thatcher and World War II.

Waters was more "art" creative no doubt but Gilmour literally lent sanity to the band...especially how he sort of just jumped in to take up Syd's slack.
Poor Syd...Poor Peter Green.
Listen kids...don't let anybody tell you that LSD is harmless...it is irreversibly life altering for some...and in a bad way, but of course it was much much stronger back then. Still, if I had to do over knowing what I know now...I'd pass. I bet Gilmour would too.
