Definitely Neo-prog.
Marillion is better than every crossover prog band ever existed.
Not to add Arena, Pallas, Pendragon and few more greats

Neo prog: I like the big names of British neo prog of the 1980's and early 1990's, basically. Marillion, IQ, Pallas, Twelfth Night, Pendragon, and some more bands with Clive Nolan in it like Shadowland and Casino.
Cross over: I really have to see which artists are in it. Seeing the most popular albums, I only like Mike Oldfield a lot. I have to scroll down to the end, to the list of artists in alfabetic order to see who's in it. Well, what do artists likeTony Banks, Barclay James Harvest and Björk have in common? The correct answer is: they are all filed under "B". Okay, they're all cross over prog, according to the site. I like them all, another thing that they have in common. Just hard to see them as in one style, and to let them compete with the neo bands, which seem to have much more in common. Hard to give an answer.

I do not consider crossover a separate sub-genre. It looks like a pool where you throw bands in which you can not categorise under other genres: for example, I can not see how Nine Inch Nails, Haggard, Mike Oldfield and Presto Ballet can belong in the same sub-genre.
I do enjoy quite a lot of bands under neo and this gets my vote (particularly Arena)

I think a lot of the artists accepted into crossover and prog related and I suppose neoprog could should be transferred into other subs. Don't hold your breath though because you might turn blue.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

No tthat I am too familiar with what is classified as Neo prog but fo rme if this includes bands such as the Flower Kings, or Frost, or Porcupine Tree or The Tangent or No Man or Spocks Beard or Beardfish or Phideaux then I am all for Neoprog....
oh yes and Marillion, but only just..........

Crossover. Little Neo has ever interested me, yet.

With Supertramp, The Moody Blues, Alan Parsons Project, Mike Oldfield and Peter Gabriel, among others, I have to go with Crossover Prog.

Neo-Prog for me. Though I have loved Hodgson-era Supertramp for since childhood and will listen to anything Touchstone releases, Neo-Prog is the genre that has meant the most to me over recent years. It is Neo-Prog, in fact, that drew me back onto the exploration of progressive rock as a whole, after years and years of listening to the classics and not knowing that prog was even still being made. The genre as a whole has my gratitude for that.
