As created characters?
Gygax would play either a Diviner Wizard and min-max the hell out of it, or a Battle Master Fighter constantly looking for ways to push the system and do stuff "outside the box" (read: fishing for Advantage and circumventing encounters whenever possible).
Arneson...hm. Perhaps also a Wizard, but one of the new Strixhaven mathematics school, someone who works in abstract principles and high theory. I could potentially also see him going Moon Druid, with him choosing different "favorite forms" over the course of the character's lifetime as interests and powers change.
Others have covered basically every angle I could think of (and some I couldn't) in terms of NPCs.
