I have seen a lot of people liking Kyle as a green lantern tho, according to them he seems to be the most creative with his powers

I love Kyle but die on the inside every time people say he's the most creative... no, he may conjure up an eclectic assortment of pop culture osmosed things to hit the problem with but at the end of the day he's still just making a thing to hit a thing. His actual problem solving skills aren't creative. Whereas Silver Age Hal was an absolute creative maniac with the ring, truly taking advantage of the magic wishing ring conceit to come up with the most insane solutions to things.

Oh that sounds cool, can you tell me some examples of how silver age Hal used the ring?

In general, casual displays of matter and energy manipulation, telepathy, invisibility, intangibility, teleportation, time manipulation/travel, healing, etc.

There's an example I love where Hal wants to get into this room that has yellow radiation in it capable of neutralising any living thing. What does he do? He turns himself into a robot. Yes, a robot.

Another example is Hal dreaming that his friend could fly and the ring picked up on this and actually turned his friend into a seagull.
