Both albums are great. This is not really an easy choice for me. CTA's debut album was not their best, but possibly their second best album and I think From Genesis to Revelation is a vastly underrated album, one of the best concept albums of 69, and is one of the Genesis albums I enjoy listening to the most. Of course both groups changed dramatically from their earliest incarnations, and Genesis's change may have been a bit more dramatic. I will say that if Genesis had maintained the Moody Blues like style that they were embarking on in 69 and never became known as a progressive icon, we would be looking back at From Genesis to Revelation as a classic, not as group "stumbling for an indentity". That being said, I still have to give a slight edge to CTA's debut album which has a soulfulness that transports me back to the 60's every time I listen to it.

CTA by far, id rather listen to the first two chicago albums than any genesis album to be honest. IMO chicago were much better writers all around, with much more influences from different styles of music.

CTA. Whereas CTA is Chicago's best album, FGTR is Genesis' worst album until after Hackett's departure. Genesis is the better band, but CTA is the better of these two albums. FGTR is Genesis trying to find their way; after CTA, Chicago progressively lost their way (esp. after Terry Kath's untimely demise).
I have a special place for the naive but extremely beautiful FGTTR over any post Hackett album (Yes even better for that ATTW3 and Duke), really lovely album, on the other hand I don't like any Chicago album.
So my choice is obvious...From Genesis to the Revelation.

This. Although I do like Chicago and the first couple of records they created are fantastic.
