I think some of this has to do with your entry point into being a Floyd fan. For example, I started listening in the early 80's. I think that tends to breed a Roger bias. And maybe not even a time base thing, as much as what material did you listen to first. I started with The Wall myself. As I was just starting to really listen to Floyd, they released TFC.
By bias says TFC is better. More the like the sound I first fell in love with, and also not commercial at all. (alright, maybe Not Now John tried to be a little commercial)

Yeah, if has a real good Roger feel to it, those two being next to each other. The song TFC is the soring and depressed Rog sound, while NNJ is the butt kicking, screaming Rog. And the flow from his depression into the "Get on with it" attitude suits the album pretty well.
This is only a little different from the kind of flow he had on PaCoHH, where the album drifts up and down in sound, mood, and tempo.
I really love Roger's work.

I hardly listen to either now, but I'll take TDB
I think I would give the nod to The Division Bell now, only because it has more very strong tracks. I have never been able to identify a great track on The Final Cut. There are some good ones, but no great ones IMHO. Even though TDB has perhaps the worst song in the PF catalogue, Lost For Words, songs like High Hopes, Keep Talking, and WDYWFM in particular still sound good a decade later.
However, when I am in that mood when I am this ->] [<- close to slitting my wrists, TFC works quite nicely.

What does the other YO stand for?
I feel TFC cut definitly. TDB had potentiol but unlike TFC is was just a standard album, TFC sounds like nothing else and is quite definitly the bleakest album i can think of. It was strong lyrically than TDB with more quality playing.
TDB was like Dave shoiwng how good a musician he could be with bith his epic guitar sound and his epic voice, yet TFC was so much more. it sounds more personal to Roger, the songs are enjoyably dry and the vocals are to die for. TFC was a brilliant album and seemed like the last progression for the band, as if the career had built up to that album.
