Drats! I missed the last challenge. I would've voted for #306 too though so all's good.
This is a tough one but only because neither of them elicits any sort of emotion from me. They're just kinda 'there' IMO.
The Outpost one is kinda weirdly interesting with Nura's hair going crazy (she looks like 5YL Spider Girl) and Tinya's sunglasses and that make-out action happening in the background. It reminds me of a James Bond poster now that I think about it.
The Companion is too busy (as someone else said) and the Legionnaires flying through the sky is not a very original idea. But dang, if I don't love that sort of thing. Plus, it's got nearly everyone on it and they all look kinda happy and cheery (which is good to see with this team).
Hmmmm I'll vote for the Companion.

The Legion Outpost for me. It's such a product of it's time. Besides, the Companion cover omitted Chemical King.

I like the randomness, almost movie poster quality of the Outpost one better than the tried and true flying in one direction cover.

Timber Wolf looks pretty awkward on the Outpost cover. But it doesn't matter because the cover belongs to a beautiful Nura and a smokin' hot Tinya.

I loves me some Cockrum. I'm tempted to say TIE!
If I have to pick one or the other, I'll go with the Outpost for its originality and whimsy.

I love that shot of Mon, even though it's not very dynamic and there is no background, it says a lot about the fight he has in this issue.
BUT...that Star Boy costume is my favourite superhero costume EVER, and I love the way he blends into the stars behind him.
I think both covers actually say a lot about where their particular Legion was at during the time, but the Star Boy one wins by a narrow margin because I think it is actually more clever and objectively a better image.
