First of all... this is my first post and I hope that I'm posting in the right forum section 
I'm getting married next month and FH and I have been looking for wedding rings. I have no engagement ring so I'd like something that will stand alone nicely, I've fallen in love with five stone rings but I have no idea what would be prettiest and/or of best value, as finances are kind of tight. So far what I've found are the following:

For this one I would set in ideal cut ~.30CW H colour SI1 diamonds to try to keep it affordable. I'm worried that the U-prong setting would look chunky or be less safe for the diamonds though. Would they look nicer because of all the light they would get in this setting? I've never seen a setting like this so I really have no idea, although I did see some posts on here with it and it looked beautiful.

This is a little more affordable, I'm wondering if the diamonds would sparkle as nicely in this setting or how it would compare in general to the U-prong.

This one is quite similar, so I'm not sure how the cut of the diamonds would compare, or if it is of similar quality to the whiteflash rings.

I love the look of this, but it's quite expensive for princess cut diamonds and I've heard that they don't sparkle as nicely. I love the sharp corners but is this more expensive than it's worth?
Last one!...

A little lower weight, and much more affordable. However, I'm not sure how it compares to the others in terms of cut and quality.
If anybody bothers to read this, thank you so much! I really want a ring that I will wear and love for the rest of my life but it's hard to know the pros and cons of all of the options seeing that I have no experience shopping for jewelery online. I have looked locally and similar rings are way out of our price range
Which would you choose and why?
Many thanks!
