To no offence, I prefer the 4th one. It looks so much closer to what I was aiming for. But to be honest, I am willing to work on both sprites at the same time. And I will do it. And the new one works better for a game I might make. So I'll work on 2 versions. Or I could put up a poll to see which other people prefer.
Here an updated version of, well let's just call this one PBG 1. PBG 1 + Sword.
