That "Rand is second only to Lan with the sword". Thus I would say that Lan is the best.
I didn't think Lan is really that skilled with the sword - I thought he was just above average or something. In New Spring, he mentions people who are better than him.
Yes, New Spring is a while before the main sequence, but Lan was already a general at the time (presumably at or near his peak abilities).
Who would win in a fight? (yes, you read that right! )

Perhaps the key is that Gawyn is an even more simplistic thinker than Galad.

Yup, plus those were complex weaves that may have required multiple flows.
