Adventure #300 gets props for being the original annd LoSH #301 has a good mix of Legionnaires and Vi looks cute leaning against the barcode like that... but LoSH #41 has taken the format established by the other two and really brought it to life IMO. The Legionnaires in action is a lot more exciting than the 'just standing around' pose that the others have them in. Plus Sprouse managed to squeeze a few more members in.
I *love* the shot of the HQ in Sprouse's cover with the additional members and Gim standing there!

For me it is between Adventure 300 and Legion of Superheroes 301.
300 has the draw of being the original. But the thing I like about 301 is how Giffen incorporated the UPC box into the drawing with Vi leaning against it.
So I vote for Legion of Superheroes 301

I was going to vote for 300, but you've swayed my vote to 301. I also like the whimsy of Vi leaning against the UPC box. Also, #301 is a Superboy-less cover, representing that the Legion has grown up and is on its own. I also agree with others that Shady's costume is one of her best; same with Jan.
The Sprouse cover is more dynamic, but it represents the Legion regressing (being teenagers again). 301 represents the culmination of the preboot era: this, to me, was the Legion at its best.

You're right! It is.
That does not change my vote, however; covers are always meant to be symbolic.

thank god you did not include all the new Adventure Comics #1 to #7 or #8 whatever it is...otherwise I would chose any cover of Adv Comics to win.
So I chose #41 just because..... heh.
