I think you summed it up pretty well. Clap ELP has some phenomenal stuff, but they just don't have the consistency (in my opinion) that Yes had at their peak.

ELP has some really outstanding songs and no album which I like in it's whole, while Yes has even more outstanding songs and 2 albums that are among my very favourites. Besides, in their best, Yes had 5 of the best musicians on prog, while ELP only had 3. So, my choice is Yes, by far.

Overall I'm going to have to go with Yes for consistency. Although some of ELP's highlights I like more than Yes's.

Yes for consistency and variety. ELP were great, but lost a bit of creativity after Trilogy, even though they had good albums, but nothing remarkable.

I like Tarkus (the song), and The Endless Enigma more than anything Yes did, but Yes is far more consistent in quality.
So I choose Yes.

Obviously Yes. Relayer is one of my favorite albums ever, where as ELP has none on my list. Unhappy
 
Also, welcome.
