Variations on the same idea without much to distinguish either. I'll go with Baxter because it's cleaner.

Never seen the Tales version before. I'll go with it, because it's new, it has more characters, and it's a bit more misleading, with Energy Boy or whatever front and center.
That very strange looking alien in the bubble (below/behind Power Boy's leg), all slug-like with many eyes, intrigues me.
Both covers have 'Tiger Girl' and the floating fish! Woot!
Both are gorgeous. Lightle rules.

I was tempted by the "more characters" factor at first, but then I realized that most of the additional characters are Legionnaires, and there's only about two additional applicants on the Tales cover.

yeah i did too but, isn't the perspective weird. like she's giant sized as dev-em and comet queen are under her cape. yet she's bigger than them both.

Baxter, easily. Never liked the Tales because it made me think Cham, Mon, Wildfire are re-applying for the Legion or all the applicants are official members of Legion? nah.
Baxter s better.

At first I was like 'this is a really tough one', but the more I look at them, the Baxter one is definitely better.
Crisper and cleaner as someone else said. I also had never noticed until now that all the background characters on the Tales cover are already Legionnaires - which is a bit boring.
But the main factor that makes the Baxter cover better for me - the blurb!
Who Will Be the 5 New Members of the LSH?
I love covers that give me a mystery! And if I hadn't already known which 5 characters there made it in before I got around to reading that issue I probably would have spent about an hour formulating a guess before I turned the first page.
(For the record, I probably would have guessed - Tiger Girl, Dev Em, Sensor Girl, Comet Queen and Magnetic Kid.)

Excuse me but can you please direct me to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles?

I'm on the fence with this one because both are really good covers .... but I must finally cast my vote for Tales because, as someone else has said above, there are more characters on the cover.
