My gut, no-think answer

This is the winner.

Why? Because it was genius. 

The Avengers were already an impressive gathering of heroes, and then the House of Ideas made it even better by bringing back one of the greatest Golden Age icons. 

This was no mere revision of a GA hero (such as Fash or Green Lantern) but the original.

In true Marvel style, the cover still leaps out at you. It is as fresh and evocative as the day it arrived at newsstands.

Flawless.

No contest ... black background, 2 iconic characters about to set off a tremor that stunned the comic-covers world in the late 60's; just for the record, Noran makes contact with Thor before the Asgardian can connect with Mjolnir, knocking him arse over tea kettle  ...

World's Finest #142  

First time I saw this cover was this morning in the contest prize thread. It is pretty wacky.

I noticed a few things-- first, the guy is asking to join them or he will expose their identities (blackmail). Second, he is destroying Batman's jet, and last of all-- why bother getting Batman's powers (he has none- though I suppose he could take his money)?

I am a sucker for the 50 and the ASM 29

This Infantino cover with the purple background screams Silver Age.

And I would also add this epicness from Steranko ...

And how can the elegant composition of Action 252 not be part of the debate?

Hands down, my favorite Kirby SA cover -- love the yellow background which makes the red and blue pop to life!

And finally, a scene you will never forget!  See ... The defeat of Spider-Man!

Definitely one of my fav's.  Owned a real nice CGC copy, but had to sell it a few years back for funds.  Am looking to get a placeholder soon.

Another silver age favorite!  1st Batgirl!

one of my undercopies.  i don't consider myself a GGA aficionado per se, but this cover has always made me stop and check my bank balance when i see one for sale

[Chillax23]

Always been a fan of Brave and Bold 29 (awesome purple cover + giant Robot + JLA = pure awesomeness):

Also Showcase 34 is a personal favourite as well:
