Why Go has a great little solo but the outro jam at the end of porch (whatever Mike is playing under Eddie) is just phenomenally cathartic. The only reason it isn't the best musical moment on Ten is because Ten also happens to have the Alive solo.
Vote for porch

Porch - this is a case where I really like the Ten Redux version. You can hear the guitars a lot more clearly as they lay waste to everything in sight.

Why Go IMO is one of Mike's best solos. I honestly don't usually think the solos in Pearl Jam are that great, but this is just an awesome section.
Are we putting just the guitar or are we counting everything? Anyways the whole vibe of Why Go is awesome, so if we're including everybody then it only gets better. Even if its just Mike it gets a good score from me.
I feel Porch underwhelms me on the CD when I think of live versions. Feels like they could have done more with it. Ive never noticed the guitar soloing at the end before. its pretty cool. I still prefer Why Go.
Bonus points on porch for 2:26-2:30

I've grown quite tired of both of the songs over the years but the finishing 90 seconds of Porch is pretty "phenomenally cathartic" as stip would say. Vote for Porch.

I was considering the studio tracks and i thought I would be voting for the Why Go solo, however listening to both I absolutely have to vote for Porch. Mike is on fire! (2:26 onwards)
Guitar only tracks:
