wait, so what do you actually want, do you want us to pick the best sprite or what? I'm kinda confused 
Honestly, I don't see any problem with the top row despite your concern being valid. If you really want to avoid the 'simple, retro' style going on the top sprites, go for the bottom right sprite, but with better colors.
The shadow colors don't look dark enough; it's just desaturated, but not darker, making it look realy weird. Like that brown againt the red. It doesn't look like shading, but rather brown details or dirt. Same with the pants. The actual pixel placement is fine imo; all you need to change is the colors.
I'd also change the sprite a little to make a more balanced stance, but that's it. Sorry if this is not exactly what you want :/
