Of the four choices, I picked the 3-tone, however, I'd swap out the PG for either tort, or alteast black.

My favorite strat scheme is aged white with white pickguard and maple fretboard.... MM MM!!

anything but red, red always looks cheap IMO.

p.s. ditch the white PG for tort whichever you choose, it always looks nicer... no matter the color

I prefer antique white with black pearl pickguard and rosewood neck.

You can tell, because that's what mine looks like.

Otherwise sunburst, tort, and rosewood.

+1. A man who shares my tastes. I love the bursts, but don't like the white guards on them. I love Vintage White (maple OR rosewood!) with the white guard.

i went with the black and maple.

i went in with an open mind, but the black was just a much nicer instrument then the sunburst. played a lot faster and had a nicer tone. felt more at home.

here it is

I'm going astray from the choices on your poll, but I like this one. It's a Limited Edition (made only in '07) MIA '57 Reissue w/gold hardware. It had a one-ply white p/g on it, but I put the mint one on:
