Have you seen these in person? We'd need to see pictures of them. It is not possible to choose a diamond just from a lab report. Any one of them could be horrible or beautiful. If you do not have access to seeing them, then I'd suggest choosing a vendor who will provide pictures and ASET images for light return.
 
I agree with DS not all EC are created equal ...You have to like the shape and the steps so pictures are a must
 
None. You can't buy an Emerald by the numbers. And the majority of emeralds are dogs.

You need pictures and an ASET if you are buying online.

Numbers on a lab report are largely meaningless with ECs or any fancy (not round brilliant).
