At this point I''m tending to Stones 2 and 3 because the numbers seem to match more closely. But the tables are more similar between 1 and 2...
They''ll be set in 3-prong martini style earrings.
I''d really appreciate advice from those more wise than I!

I think they are all contenders. You didn't list the diameters or the price. At this point, I think they are all all well enough matched that your eye won't see a difference in performance in earrings. So, you chould check the diameters (that is the size that will be visible) and the value. If they are all similar, I think they will all be good pairs. I like the idealscopeof #1. (2 and are good to, but I like #1 best).
edited to add: I say that all 3 would be fine because I obsessed about finding stud stones last year. I ended up with a pair that were not as closely matched for performance as yours, but based on some expert recomendations, I sent the two stones to Rich Sherwood for appraisel. He said they were going to be a great pair, so I went for it. To this day, with a loop, I haven't figured out which stone is which. One has slightly better specs than the other, but I can't tell them apart with a loop, much less with out one and even less than that, on my ears. That said, I had a pair before that was enough off in diameters, that I could see it in the mirror, and it bugged me. Thus, my suggestion to double check the diameters, even to these are all probably very close.
The diameters of the 3 are perfectly matched. If it was up to me I would either pick the best priced or I would ask the vendor to eye ball them and pick the best pair. Going with one vendor will simplify things if they are not all from the same vendor. w & 3 do have a lot of the same specs, but I really can''t believe that your eye would see the difference in any of them. They all look like winners to me.
