I have a lot of sentiment with the 226 cover... but I'll vote:
Baxter.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

CRAP. Your toughest one yet for me, Dev.
Like Kent, sentiment demands S/LSH 226.
But experience overrides sentiment.
I vote BAXTER.

That's not just contempt, that's super-contempt of space! It's like she's the Polecat or something... or, for Thom, Infectious Lass...

Looking again, Imra and Dirk's slack-jawed yokel expressions are kinda annoying.
Yes, I voted correctly, no doubt.

S/LSH #226. Great issue. Great cover. Dawnstar's first appearance as designed by Mike Grell himself. She looked great then, and in my opinion, has never looked better.
Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

I'm going with Superboy & the Legion of Superheroes cover. I just never liked Giffen's art in this period.

While I liked Giffen's cover on the Baxter issue I have to vote #226 on this one. Not only was it Dawny's debut but a fantastic cover by the great Grell!

Defnitely one of Grell's worst efforts IMO. What is up with Saturn Girl?
I vote Baxter - despite the costumes.

Baxter! I like this look for Dawny and Wildfire. It's one of several covers I have in a folder for my screensaver.

S&SLH 226.
Drake and Jo were unrecognizable on that Baxter cover (indeed, if Jo's vest wasn't peeking open, to show a hint of emerald dragon-ness, I would have guessed it was Gim).

Baxter!
They look ready to kick some ass, on the other cover, they're nothing more than whiny jerks.
Plus, no Superboy on that baxter cover.

Baxter

Honestly don't like either cover, Baxter's composition is there, but every thing else is fugly. But 226 has some weird poses and composition with the surrounding Legionnaires, but Dawny looks nice, which is more than I can say about anyone on the Baxter cover.
So by being less bad than the other, I go 226.
Long Live the Legion!

Gotta go with Giffen. Those are some of the few good redesigns he did in late Baxter. I like the attitude in the poses as well.
That's not a terribly impressive Grell cover. Dawny just looks to submissive in her debut. Not a great first impression.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I'm surprised at the positive comments about Giffen's Wildfire redesign. I always thought the whole appeal of his very popular earlier look was the originality of the visor. Here he just look so generic to me. Like Auron or Fire or Stein-Firestorm or a dozen other characters.

I abstain. They both suck equally hard.
Why can't we vote on Sherman's interior art for #226? That was excellent. Why couldn't he have done the cover?

I'm not in love with Drake's look here, but I like the idea behind it--to experiment with giving Drake a more human appearance, something that was long overdue in hindsight. I also like how the attempt backfired with Dawny. It adds an extra layer of pathos to Drake's tragic side.
