#231, it actually has Legionaires in the fight on the cover. Never really liked the Superboy is everything attitude, Mon-el's better in my book. I'd be happy if Superboy only showed up rarely or not at all.

#231: The characters pop against the color more than they do in the similarly bright colored 219.
However, the prospect of Brainy/Shrinking Violet taking on the Fatal Five is a story I'd want to read, even if they apparently 'fail'. That cover makes it look like EE leads the Fatal Five, which she never did as long as Tharok was around. (Did we ever find out how he and Mano felt when she formed their group without them?)
It's this image of the Fatal Five clustered in this formation that I think of when I think of that group.
So, I'll pick 219, even though I think the other one's a better cover.

I always liked the weird tree and pink sky of 219, but I think Grell's anatomy issues are pretty evident there too. However, I loved and still to this day enjoy his art (and the inside story has the bonus of Grell art along with Light Lass smacking Mano with her purse!)
231, however, contains one of my favorite LSH stories ever.

Hmm... I think I'll go with 219 as well. I find the fact that they're all flying in space with spacesuits and right next to a giant sun kind of distracting on the other one, and 219 has the groovy looking alien tree.

I like 231 better because Grell's style is more identifiable there. The featureless ground (sand?) that the unconscious Legionnaires are lying on 219's doesn't help it either. Plus, Imra's bikini seems more revealing than ever on 231!
