Out of the three you listed, and the information provided, I would choose numbers 1 and 3. Number 2 has a slightly deep pavilion combined with a relatively steep crown, which is getting close to the steep-deep combination that can result in more light leakage and less light return than a more ideally cut stone. Thus the slightly worse HCA score. There's a chance number 2 is a beautiful stone, but by looking only at the numbers, it is a lot less likely a beatufiul stone than say, numbers one and two, which have a better chance of being great performers as far as light return goes.

Ditto what Magnum said - as long as these diamonds perform as the numbers suggest they should, I'd select #1 and #3.  #2 may still be a beautiful diamond, but it has the potential for some light leakage given the steep/deep proportion on the crown/pav angles.
 
Have you seen any of these?

I, too, would choose #1 and #3. They are both extremely close in terms of proportions and, most important, diameters. F/SI 1 is always nice too. Just make sure they are pretty much eye-clean from the top. I wouldn't consider stone #2 --as others have suggested, it's likely to be a steep/deep combo with some leakage.
