I think the idea outmatches the execution on both of these covers but I'm gonna go with the Servants cover too 'cause it's a tad more exciting.

I don't recognize the flying one, and no matter how much I love the Great Darkness Saga, I think I'm voting for the flying scene.
The citizens pointing up at the heroes overhead evokes old-school 'It's a bird! It's a plane!' imagery, more recently evoked by Ross' painted covers in Marvels.

The flying one...here's why. I read a handful of Legion stories in my younger years...as I've detailed elsewhere. This was the first Legion cover I found again after years of not getting any new issues. I quickly got my dad to take me to a comic shop, which I had just recently found out esisted...and picked up evrything back to the great darkness saga.
This was one of the coolest things I had ever seen at that point though...The Legion was still around...and in their own comic!!!

I like them both. The Servants cover is quite powerful. But the flying one invokes the sense of fun that I associate with the Legion.
So I choose the Flying cover.

I like them both, but I like the flying one slightly better. The art is clean and it doesn't have Superboy in it, just Legionaires. I was always disappointed by the amount of space Superboy took up in stories that Legionaires coul have had.

I'm actually not crazy about either of them, but I'll taking the flying one, mostly for the inclusion of the crowd. One thing Giffen always excelled at was drawing interesting "civilians".
