Personally, I wouldn't go by appearances at all...to me, a pet is more about personality, & since it's a BP, also which one is the "least-picky" eater.
They're all pretty... cute bird too!

Re: Which would you choose and why?
First Choice: The Genetic Stripe female. A recessive trait to start will be valuable for any potential G-Stripe project breeding in the future and will give you a good head start as you will produce guaranteed 100% Het offspring from the cross.
Second Choice: The cinnamon female. While it is a common trait...females take longer to mature than males and if ever you want to breed bps in the future you will need a female at maturity.
Third Choice: The super pastel banana male. With pastel in everything now and banana with increasing popularity: a super pastel banana is not unusual. Males are faster to mature and breeders often don't need as many males as they produce for their projects (which drives prices down). I would not keep this snake unless I had a morph goal that required pastel and banana together.

Re: Which would you choose and why?
It would be the banana for me. I just love the color of them, and the freckles as they get older. Of my 13 bps, 3 are banana combos.
Beautiful parrot. Is she a sun conure?

The super pastel nanner male... all offspring would at least be pastel, and if crossed with the right kinds of females the offspring would be stunning.
I know recessives are more valuable, but I don't personally care for g stripes and single gene cinnamon doesn't do much for me, would be good for breeding with the right partner though.

Lord Sorril's excellent reply was what I figured from someone with a breeding perspective & you never did indicate your future plans on that, but it's cool that we
all have different reasons from different angles... You might have to toss a coin?

Green Cheek conure... and her "morph" is yellow-sided. Sun Conures are a little bigger, x10 times louder and look like this:

The banana, all the way. I just love yellow snakes and that one is gorgeous! Such lovely colours and patterns. That one looks like it isn't gonna get too many spots either, which is a bonus for me.

I would pick the one with the best personality. Paint jobs are great and all, but I keep snakes as pets because I love snakes. You could put a pretty paint job on a donkey, but I still wouldn't want it as a pet.
Don't get me wrong, as humans it's only natural to be drawn to something that physically appeals to us. Whether it's a spouse, car, clothes, whatever...physical appearance is a factor in which we choose.
I guess all my babbling can be summarized by saying if it was me, I'd keep the one I enjoy most as a pet. Beauty is only skin deep.
