Very, very tough call, as both versions are excellent.
But I'm giving it to Giffen, as the original concept is his.

Wowzers. I think I made my choice known a long time ago when this was first shown... I love Giffen.
The actual vote is...
Giffen = 14
Lee = 12
Giffen edges out Lee. It was a close race all the way through.

#317 - It's less crowded, tells more of a story, and gives us the mystery of why is there a person in Wildfire's containment suit? Worth picking up to find out. Drake as a person is kind of handsome. Jacques' blue jacket is a nice touch.
Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

I'll take 335 in this face-off. Another in a series of exellent do-overs for the Baxter reprints, this time by the great Jerry Ordway.
317 isn't bad, but I'm not crazy about the faces. They're kind of homogenized and inconsistent with how Jacques is usually depicted and with how distinctive Drake looked on the cover of 298, the issue to which 317 is a sequel. I recall being disappointed in 317's interiors by the same artist, IIRC. (The cover's unsigned as far as I can tell. Who was it...Jurgens? If so, he REALLY got better later on!)
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I'll go with the first one.
Both of them are nice. I just like the way the first one draws you into the center of the image better.

#335.
Jaques looks incredible, as does Wildfire, and that's who this faceoff is about.
(I SO love that yellow outfit on him that the blue jacket covering him up in the other cover annoys me.)
A singin' and a dancin'
along the way.

#317. Jacques seems more pro-active (even if it is at running away) than he is on the other one where he's just floating there. (Love the Ordway though - has he done any other work with the Legion? Other than the recent Superman/Batman. I'd love to see him do more.)

335 for me. I don't like the blue jacket, and Wildfire is power!

317, cover seems more interesting.
I tried to rip their soul out.I tried to make them forget Superman.
But they won't.

Like them both, but I'll go with 335.

317. Seems more relevant to whatever is occuring inside.
