Best - It is clearly Deliverance. It's the easiest to follow in terms of it's changes, and the way it builds throughout is just perfect. Add a huge, climactic ending and you have a masterpiece.

Worst - The entire Orchid album and half of Morningrise.

I love Deliverance, but I feel that it falls a hair short of perfection due to excessive repetition of the ending figure. Two minutes' worth was enough, four minutes is overkill.

At least for the studio version, in live concert I wanted it to go on forever

Yes. Both are quite good, especially Weeping Moon.

The ending gets me every time. I always find myself drumming with my hands on whatever surface is nearby at the time.

I love it, but I could use one less repetition

Actually, the part just before the ending is the one that always gets me - Lopez's work on that minute is awesome, and the mental imagery/ideas I get from "Deliverance... laughing at me" never fails to give me shivers or some kind of reaction.

Best Arranged - Deliverance or Ghost of Perdition.
Worst - Any song off of Orchid, Good moments here and there but The songwriting is Immature.

I love the into to the ending, especially. The part directly after he says "...laughing at me." around 9:47 or :48.
