The word ‘best’ is totally subjective, which is why these plants aren’t numbered. The spread of different shapes and sizes hopefully means that at least one of them is perfect for your next project with a tricky shady spot that receives at least a tiny bit of sunlight (not the cupboard under the stairs).
