#1 for me.

Me, too.

#2 or #4 would be second choice. Not liking #3

I just got the cutting figure from JA.

#2
Crown Angle: 34.5
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Fluorescence is Med yellow (this is my 1st time to see this, usually it''s blue. Is yellow fluo a good thing and rare found?
#3
Crown Angle: 34
Pavilion Angle: 41

Numbers look good, but Med Yellow will usually bring down the price of the stone as it will make a near colorless stone look more yellow instead of less yellow in certain lighting condition. It is rare, not sure if by nature or just no cutter wants to cut it?

Personally I would avoid yellow fluorescence, apparently even if it doesn''t have much of an impact on the stone, it can be even more difficult to resell or trade it in according to one of the experts.
