I'd suggest that it works like this:
-Solo queuing places you in your own Grand Company.
-Party queuing is only available if your entire party belongs to a single Grand Company OR Free Company.
-If your party is a group of individuals that belongs to both the same GC and FC, the GC takes priority.

This makes it so there's no distinct advantage to joining an FC that's not under your GC.
Great ideas! Quoted below is myself from earlier in the thread, I mashed up the idea quickly so all yours may be better... either way, we're giving SE solid options; no good reason GC-restriction should remain.

If it's all one or the other, whichever it is.

If everyone is both, two options for SE: either whichever queue is faster or Party Leader's personal GC Affiliation.
