#1 is just plain out so it's a cross between #2 and #3 for me.

i like the stitching on #2. it reminds me of a baseball. :)
and #3 is like a pair I actually bought for a guy.

if i had to pick one i would say #3.

I have Born Volks and they are outrageously comfortable. I have gotten a lot of compliments on them too despite the fact that they kind of look like a rat got stuck in a tire. I don't know if the style you are looking at is the same comfort-wise but if they are even close to as comfy as the volks, they are winners.

#1 looks like something an OompaLoompa would wear. Really, how many pants do you have that match orange? #2 looks like a baseball on your feet. #3 wins by default.

Side note, my born volks are 10.5s and I normally wear an 11. Keep that in mind if you order the borns.

where's the option for none? they all look like they were made in the 1930s and have survied that long as well.

they're all hideous. If i had to choose the least hideous though, i'd pick #3, i guess.

I actually have a pair like #3 in black and brown and love them (made by Cole-Haan).

#3 is winning??? Wow, those have 'college punk' written all over 'em imo. I guess if that's where you're at...:p
