2002-2005 Eddie is probably the best wrestler I've seen. He was the complete package during that period and was churning out great performances on a week to week basis no matter the position he was in. Moreover, he frequently had very little to work with during that run but still produced great stuff (e.g. that 2002 Edge feud had no business being as great as it was given that it involved Edge). Also, while his 1995-1998 run isn't nearly as great as 2002-2005, it's still an impressive run that bolsters his case. I love Hokuto and I'd definitely say that her 10 best matches are better than Eddie's 10 best. However, I'm going with Eddie due to the volume and variety of his great performances.

A lot of people are high on Kingston right now due to his AEW work (and rightfully so), but he's been a great wrestler for roughly 15-16 years. Moreover, he's frequently hit spectacular highs during that period (e.g. the all-time great rivalry with Hero, the Ian Rotten feud in 2005, the Cesaro feud). He's an all-time great at selling, brawling, and strike exchanges. Plus his range is sufficiently wide enough that he can be plugged into a lot of different situations and produce something engaging. Right now I have him as a top 20 contender, but there's a good chance he'll finish in my top ten if he adds a few more great performances to his body of work.
