There has been a wave of vote in favour of TATA but let me tell you neither TATA nor DHN is the most strategically favourable railway station.
That honour goes to Gomoh Junction. Often overshadowed by it's prodigious divisional headquarters, Gomoh directly controls the railway traffic to three different state capitals.
As far as TATA goes, TATA offers much less to Jharkhand , the effect of TATA is felt mostly in northern Orissa and some of it in Chaibhasa, Chakulia belt. The main chunk of Jharkhand is actually controlled by DHN

and ASN.
SInce the DC line has re-opened I can tell you that DHN is now comfortably busier than TATA due to the sheer number of freights. TATA has humongous number of freights but DHN is a cornerstone station on the Grand chord and comfortably beats TATA in terms of both size and train handling capacity
RNC won't even make my top five.
My list would actually be :-
1. GMO
2. DHN
3. TATA
4. JSME
5. KQR
6. MURI
7. BRKA
8. RNC
9. CKP
10. MDP
