If you're talking about development as an artist and with their specific instrument, I do think it's George. But partially because he was lagging Paul and John in those categories. George pretty much flourished with the contrition of having two guys who were essentially rock and roll virtuoso's overshadowing him.
I do think Paul was the most talented overall musician, he could play anything and play it well. He also had a purer voice than the others.
John was a driven songwriter, I think his writing was probably the best of them all.
I also think it's been suggested by people in the industry that Ringo was the most business savvy of them all and probably the greatest overachiever.
Those are just my takes, flawed as they may be.

From an artistic point of view it was definitely Harrison. His early solo material was simply outstanding. A lot of his compositions in his later period with the Beatles was downright inspired . His work with Clapton on "As My Guitar Gently Weeps" still holds up today as does some of his earlier stuff like "Taxman" His later solo stuff in the late 80's was too poppy. However his work while doing most of the leads for the Traveling Wiburys is very good.

Artistically, George. I'd say over his whole career, he seemed to gravitate most to slide guitar sound, but he never really even started that until after the breakup. pretty amazing stuff.

Yep, definitely George.
Paul may have made more music, money, and played longer. However George peaked as a performer after the Beatles demise, while the rest of the boys best days were behind them. Personally I've never spent a dime on anything Paul's done (with others) since they split, while purchasing both John and George's music... eta: and seeing Ringo on screen.

Paul has an argument to get himself as a solo artist and another band he created post Beatles in the RRHOF

one could argue if his
... however I'm not sure Paul would suggest his later success had ever eclipsed his former.

Band on the Run still holds up pretty well but most of Paul's other stuff is just old however, for some reason I still like Take It Away....I don't know why....

George is my favorite post-Beatles Beatle, but Paul kept churning out the songs
Posted on 3/2/20 at 9:40 pm to crash1211
Favorite albums - John..Plastic Ono Band is a damn masterpiece
Favorite songs - Paul..too many to name
I love George's ATMP but there are some songs on there that just aren't good, at all. It's also produced super brightly which, to me, contributes to its inconsistency as an album. Like "Wah Wah"....is there any bass on that track at all? I play it and the subwoofer is basically dormant.
I've never listened to Ringo's solo stuff but I get the impression I'm not missing much.

“Maybe I’m amazed” first appeared on Paul’s first solo album shortly after the Beatles breakup.
Honestly, I still think the best writing by far came
When the band was together.

Which is why I agree George had the better career in my view as well. 'Sue Me, Sue You Blues' is one of my favorite all time songs, deals with the post-Beatles rights and such. Paul could write great pop songs, no doubt, but sometimes, you want something a little deeper, which is where George comes in...

Between Harrison and Lennon.
Harrison creatively flourished, Lennon continued his craft (though his shite dipped later).
