I agree it's really difficult to pick one. I could choose differently at any time. My vote today goes to East Hastings.

Not possible to choose. 

I'll toss a vote to Mladic to do something.

I haven't heard the 2015 and 2017 releases (I should, I know) and was somewhat disappointed by the 2021 one, but I really love their earlier material. I vote for Static over Dead Flag Blues, but I agree that all (before 2015) are ultimately great.

I haven't heard all of these. The first Godspeed album I got into was Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! And then F♯A♯∞, then Yanqui U.X.O. (which I haven't heard for a long time). Without revisiting now, and I have been listening to Godspeed of late, I went with "Storm".
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

F♯A♯∞ (2 track LP, 1997, 3 track CD, 1998) 1,2, 3
Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada E.P.  (1999) 4, 5
Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! (2000) 6, 7, 8, 9
Yanqui U.X.O. (2002) 19, 11, 12, 13
'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! (2012) 14, 15
'Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress' (2015) 16, 17
"Luciferian Towers" (2017) 18, 19
G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END! (2021) 20, 21

I think every single track included in the poll is great actually, but their first three releases somehow feel more important and essential to me (and probably to most). Maybe they are, or maybe it's just because I heard them first. If you don't know their music yet you should do something about it. Their music is beautiful, intense and cathartic. One of a kind although I can't think of any existing band out there that has more copycats than GY!BE. But "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and some of them do a decent job at it.

There wasn't room for everything they've ever recorded, so I dropped the seven tracks in thir discog lasting less than ten minutes (not counting the 26 tracks on their 1994-cassette).
