Default OT: Which of these looks best?

So, which of these ships do you like best? Before you ask, I'm making them to be sorta like relatives of the Phong. Same general shapes, different configurations and coloring. Please, let me know which is best, what I can do to make them better!

Top Left. Looks like the ship's been used and not sitting in dock with the crew buffing and waxing it.

Renegade13, what did you make them with? I'm curious because they DO resemble the Phong...

I made them in Bryce 5, definitely my favorite program for creating ship models. And you won't believe this, but I found the EXACT texture that was used for the Phong! In fact, the textures of the top-right and bottom left, plus a bunch of parts in the other two are that same texture, just recolored from the customary yellow to a red or green. The texture I'm almost sure was used for the Phong is called "Urban Dwelling" and its a stock texture that comes with Bryce 5.

Just wish I could convert .br5 to .x format...
