I don't know much about Yes or ELP. But Wakeman played on
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, which is the least Sabbathy but probably most creative of the early Sabbath classic LPs,* and Emerson was in ELP, which did "I Believe in Father Christmas" which is not nearly as good as the Kinks' "Father Christmas" but listening to which is a guilty pleasure in which I dabble around the holidays.
So they're all good in my mind.

Vol 4 may vie for this title, and it is my favorite of Sabbath's catalog, and possibly my favorite by its prolific producer, Cocaine. But SBS's use of symphonies and prog rock effects is, IMO, next level.
