Rampal is one of your favorites and you don't like Galway, although they come from the same French flute school tradition (Galway is Irish but was a student of Geoffrey Gilbert who was a student of Marcel Moyse).
The biggest difference between them imho is one of taste and choice of repertoire. Rampal had almost infallibly good taste and was somehow able to find the best of even the most obscure composers, especially in the endless catalog of baroque music, and make the most of it. (Violinist Nathan Milstein had the same good taste, and did the same thing, but on a much smaller scale.) In contrast, Galway has put some shlocky stuff on record. Just my 2 cents.
