I'll vote for Red Barchetta as it was the song I loved the most out of the three when I first heard them, although these days none of those would rank in my Rush top 10.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Red Barchetta was the musical adventure here, so...

I like them all, but Red Barchetta is the best.

The Trees

that's a happy bag of lettuce

The Trees was my song when I was a teen, I loved the drumming and of course the percussive playing of the temple blocks, chimes....Still a wonder.

But I chose Freewill, today....

"Freewill" — had "Limelight" been chosen, it'd be a no-brainer.

Definitely Red Barchetta - excellent song
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Anecdote time, though it's not mine. 

My dad's girlfriend was a rebel in Catholic school (not surprisingly, he's not Catholic anymore). For a poetry writing assignment, he lifted the lyrics of The Trees, and the teacher was quite impressed. He got a great grade by exploiting the nun's ignorance of Rush, hahaha.

Really tough but I chose Freewill. The fact that a song with time signatures like 13/4, 5/4, 15/4, and 12/8 could get on the radio so easily is definitely a testament to the band's fantastic songwriting ability 
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life
