Both are nice fish but I prefer the second one as well. As for the first one hopefully you noticed there is a red light over the fish. This is a common practice when a seller has a red (ish) fish. I doubt the red on that fish is anywhere near as intense without a red light shining on it.
I like the second one a lot, where you thinking of breeding him to a specific female or all of yours?

not sure which one but I may get 2 males and hope they pair up with someone. 2 of my females are nicer than the 3rd IMO but none are bad looking
I like the last one that you posted a lot, only because it has a lot of kok potential. But one thing you might also want to beware, having such a huge kok at a young age doesn't mean it will bloom into a monster in the future. It may not grow at all and just grow along with the fish, it may grow a little but the fish grows faster than the kok, or the kok either bloom out huge. Huge kok at a young age never means even bigger kok later on. But it looks nice...when overseas breeder take the picture. It always looks nice. 
Id truly be happy with any of the 3! That last one is sweet with that kok already! I really like the first one but the comment about the white eye being infertile has me worried a lil. Still would like to have him even if he cant breed but I would definately want 2 just in case! And the second was actually my favorite so .......... So many awesome fish, so few tanks! The eternal struggle!
Ok so I contacted the seller and can get those first 2 both for $200!! Better deal each now! Am I smart to get these 2 guys for $200? Would you do it? Is it good quality males to breed? Sorry never spent $100 on a fish before, need some reassurance! LOL
First one is really cool, but as mentioned before it is not quite that red. Seems like you worked a good deal and both are very nice fish! The third is another good looking fish. I think the second looks like a great breeder. He would add something cool to what ever you would breed him with.
