This is a hard topic for me because I can't always definitively tell JP's and JR's solos apart (depending on what the keyboard sound is for the song), but I will attempt to do so with an edit later.

WDADU: Afterlife comes to mind, so I'll go with that.
IaW: Outro solo to Take the Time, with an honorable mention to Another Day
Awake: Voices!
FII: Peruvian Skies, with an honorable mention to Take Away My Pain. I don't like the song, but the solo is awesome
SFAM: Beyond This Life (the second rockin' solo), honorable mention to The Spirit Carries On
SDOIT: Do you also want me to choose my favourite of my children? That is what you are asking of me. There's the TGP arp solo, the bluesy Blind Faith solo, the epic Goodnight Kiss solo, he Solitary Shell acoustic solo. Best JP album ever.
ToT: As I Am
Octavarium: Octavarium Razor's Edge. All other answers are wrong.
SC: CM, honorable mention to Repentance
BCASL: TCOT outro, honorable mention to TBOT.

Yes, I cheated and gave honorable mentions, but it's JP. You can't choose just one.

TGP arps
SOC final solo  (underated, but it reeks of plagiarism)

ministry of lost souls outro
TCOT!
