My first thought is Hell on Earth, but even though they played some Senjutsu songs on LOTB Part II I think songs from Senjutsu shouldn't count here since that album will get a full hearing on the next tour.

So that disclaimer aside, Starblind. Because brilliant.
 
The Edge Of Darkness.

Other cool tunes I would imagine him being very charismatic at:

The Duellists
The Nomad
Only The Good Die Young
Deja Vu
Alexander The Great

So I voted for all of these since the poll is not single choice concepted obviously.
 
Songs from Senjutsu shouldn't be included because the album tour hasn't started yet.

My picks are:

Alexander The Great
Deja-Vu
Only The Good Die Young
Childhood's End
Judas Be My Guide
The Thin Line Between Love And Hate
Face In The Sand
The Alchemist
Isle Of Avalon or Starblind
Shadows Of The Valley
Empire Of The Clouds

As for the other songs:
Strange World and Prodigal Son aren't suitable for Bruce's voice.
Gangland, Quest For Fire, Sun And Steel, Flash Of The Blade and Back In The Village (they rehearsed it, iirc) could have been very good live songs in the 80's.
The Duellists and The Prophecy, I think are songs that were never meant to be played live (like maybe Thin Line, Face In The Sand and Empire, unfortunately).
The 3 NPFTD songs would be good live songs. High chorus in Run Silent Run Deep.
What about FOTD album? Key, Chains and Apparition would've never been played live anyway. Childhood's End is more of a studio song, while Weekend Warrior could have been a very good live song back then, methinks. Fugitive too.
Nomad would be a great live song.
Montségur has demanding vocals, Gates has specific verses, New Frontier would be a good live song, Age Of Innocence, not sure, probably not.
Mother Of Mercy has a high chorus, King would be stronger live, I think.
When The River Runs Deep has a slow chorus that I'm not a big fan of, but it sounds like a very good live song, The Man Of Sorrows sounds more like a studio song.
 
Judgement of Heaven, because this sounds awesome:
Judgement Of Heaven is one of my favorite songs and it sounds great, but it's clearly not a song written for Bruce's voice (especially the chorus).
I think they didn't play it with Blaze because the chorus is too specific for live performances.

Songs from the Blaze era that might suit Bruce's voice: The Aftermath, Blood On The World's Hands, The Edge Of Darkness, Lightning Strikes Twice and maybe Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger.
 
Not counting any of the one he sang in the studio, as it's less interesting to hear a live version than it is to hear his take on Paul or Blaze.

Edge of Darkness would be my choice, as it's the best track that they have not revived from the Blaze era.
