daijs has two entries
右に出る者がない
右に出る (already in jmdict, and also in gg5)
daijr has one 
右に出る者がいない

g ng
右に出る者	27735  (daijs)
右に出る者は	18688
右に出る者が	3563
右に出る者はない	763
右に出る者がない	464
右に出る者はいない	No matches
右に出る者がいない	No matches
... so daij both have が entries, but は seems more common in the wild. daijs 右に出る entry also has a は example: 「囲碁なら彼の右に出
る者はいない」 . GG5 has several examples in different entries, all with は
  Comments:
I've changed it to the most common surface form, but if we wanted to, this could be four entries, with が instead of は and いない 
instead of ない.
(then again we already have 右に出る by itself, so this should probably be enough).
The note can probably be trimmed.
