I never hear of Far Incorporation, or even the cover. It's hard to say as the West Coast All Star version is great except maybe the singing guitar solo part. But I will say this, Jason's performance on this track shows just how good he once was and it shows he might have been meant to sing songs like this more than "If You Leave Me Now", I cannot take The Rock Lobsters one seriously when compared to the others so I couldn't vote for it.

So for me it's a tie between Far Inc. and West Coast, as Far Inc. had a good musical sound and nice arrangement while West Coast being a capella is a completely different beast but also superbly done. So my vote is, Far West Coast Inc.
