>Ride the Lightning

Fade to Black... need I say more?

Ride The Lightning because James' vocals are more intense than in Master Of Puppets and each track doesn't waste as much time as Master Of Puppets does with needless repetition of the same old riffs on long ass tracks with a lot more wanky solo sections than before (and Kirk's an awful soloist we don't needa hear that shit.) Ride The Lightning also wins by being the shorter record so we get to hear less of Lars' garbage skills at drums. It's not even the dude's technique, but complete lack of creativity.

The drums arent really creative but they do their job and let the vocals and riffs take center stage, I personally am very happy with the length of master of puppets and the suspense that's built by the slower sections

Ride the Lightening because Dave Mustaine wrote it.
...And Justice for all would be better than both of them but for the shitty mix.

But Megadeth had creative drum sections that would help make their riffs/any particular section sound more intense or heavy or w/e. The rhythm section is just as important as the riffs in metal, and they give character to each section. You don't really get that from Metallica's music a lot. A cool example is to listen to Morbid Angel's songs on their first demo vs those same songs that show up on the first three albums to see how big a difference the drumming makes.

I can see the value of the slower sections being suspenseful, but a track like the MOP title track fucks it all up with a shitty solo in between that lets them essentially triple the length of that section (because you got slow section, solo, then exact same slow section as before repeat)
