Which one would you pick out of these 3 RBs?

Greetings!

I've finally narrowed my selection down to 3, but I'm hoping experts can chime in. Which one would you pick and why your decision?

The first two has HCA scores of 1.9 and 2.0 respectively. The last one has the lowest HCA score, 1.1. Does it matter when they are ACA, AGS000?

Hope to hear your thoughts!

I really like the look of the last one 1.52 G VS2. Im certainly no expert though, but its my pick.

I'm no expert, either, but I would go with either 1 or 3. If the difference in price doesn't matter to you, than 3 is the best bet, IMO. All will look almost exactly the same size face up, but I prefer the ASET/IdealScope images of the 3rd. It seems to display a deeper, more saturated red hue. The measurements seem slightly off, but I could be wrong. I don't have time to check it ATM and I certainly don't know them by heart, lol. I asked the same question about HCA scores for AGS certed stones and was told that the HCA doesn't matter if it's an AGS 000. Basically, it could have an HCA of 5 and it wouldn't make a difference because AGS has the most advanced cut grading system in the world.
