At the end of the day, I'll give my vote to Giggs. Nobody can dream of matching his career.
He may have had the longest most successful career but there is no way he was/is the best player.
He's like the Derek Jeter of soccer, great locker room guy, amazing consistency, very very good player on the best/most popular team, won a ton of titles but never really the star.

Hold the phone, folks...
I agree with Uncle Randy on this.

Then what do you define "best" player as?
Goal numbers? Shearer.
Best scorer? Henry.
Assists? Giggs.
Best passer? Scholes, Cesc or Bergkamp.
"Talent"? Bergkamp or Ronaldo.
"Leader"? Gerrard.
That's why discussions like these are ultimately pointless. Defenders and goalkeepers are almost immediately taken out of the equation. "Best" is not a quantifiable metric.
Giggs has scored in every single PL season since its inception. He has more trophies than I have dollars in my bank account. He has played more PL matches than 11 current clubs. He was an integral part of a dominant club. He is one of the most naturally gifted dribblers the world has ever seen. I don't even have time to begin to comment on the commitment, loyalty, passion and drive he has for his club and sport. I'm not sure what else is needed to solidify his legacy.
