Regardless of size which of these do you think is the best diamond? Any other similar suggestions that you think trumps these?

All are Top of the line AGSL Ideal cuts and ACA....nice

The only issues for me would be 'Eye Clean'.....the first 3 say eye clean, the last two do not say.

From a G to H color for me, I am ok with either, however I would only consider eye clean stones, which to me is that I am unable to see any inclusions without a loupe. If the SI1 are eye clean to me, perfect, if not no. You need to ask them, even on the VS2 to make sure that your definition of eye clean is to your satisfaction.
 
Thank you, c-k! What are the "right questions" to ask about eye cleanness when I contact them? How far away it is eye clean?

They use a definition of viewing the stone face up at 10" with naked eye, 20/20 vision, in normal lighting.....I have not so good vision at far, but close up I can focus within 2", everyone is different, you must use your comfort level, does not mean if you can see a inclusion you should not buy, some inclusion that can be seen with a naked eye are not bothersome for many people.

Click on their 'eye clean' logo on the first 3 diamonds you are looking at, they have a great explanation of their clarity definition.
 
I think C-K covered it perfectly. Just tell WF what you consider eye-clean, and pick what you like best from what they tell you meets that definition. Then prepare to get my socks knocked off.
