I like Geoff Tate as much as the next progressive metal fan, but under no circumstances would Rage for Order qualify as an "elite" album.

aside from one song---"gonna get close to you", rage is an incredible record. it wasn't like anything bands were doing at the time.
it's hard to beat the first three metallica records, but queensryche did it with their first three.

At this point in their careers, Megadeth can still run rings around Metallica as far as technical ability.

GOAT albums for both:

Megadeth = Rust in Piece
Metallica = Master of Puppets

Pump the brakes there, Man. Metallica turned an underground movement into a mainstream and critically respectable genre. When you consider how much they influenced everyone around them and how much their sound evolved in less than four years, there is no way that you can put Queensryche on the same playing field.

Queensryche dominated progressive metal, but I would argue that subsequent progressive musicians were more influenced by prog rock bands from the '70s than they were Queensryche. Hell, even Dream Theater seem to mimic Metallica's guitar sound more than that of Queensryche.
