Assuming they pay for a Tony slot, I'd go with the title song - "Welcome to our house on Maple Avenue" does showcase the cast and set up plot, but ... it's very plotty and angsty, and it doesn't show the humour of the show, and it doesn't really grab the attention (it's a "settle in, here's the story" song, not a "wow, look at this!" song). The title song, by contrast, is attention grabbing, funny, and, importantly for marketing purposes, repeats the title of the show multiple times!
