Goddamn it's a close one for me. I'm going with FF... but by a hair.

Same here. I find these 2 and Beyond This Life are very evenly matched. I tend to prefer Fatal Tragedy these days.

Definitely Finally Free. I like Home a lot, but I never got why it's supposed to be one of the bands best songs.

It's basically Metropolis pt. 2 if it were a single song, given all the callbacks. Furthermore it's a nice epic, builds the atmosphere with the slow burn of the start, exploded with that wha-wha riff, has nice vocal melodies and a big bombastic chorus.
