I’d be happy with any of them, but for this compare I’ll go with the 54, 53  & 52.

I love them all but prefer the trim and tail lights of the '53.  The others tie for second place.

Similar choices, all nice but 1953, 1954 then 1952. That side chrome strip does it for me.

1952 for me because it has less chrome. The other two tie. All lovely.

54 for those taillights, wished Danbury had done a 1/24 but sadly never did.

Brooklin's 1/43rd 1954 in bittersweet is terrific.

@ed-glorius I agree Ed and their earlier light blue HT is one of my favorite BRKs of its era.

I have this one in a different color.  It's a very good looking model but has the usual NEO detached trim issues.  This dark metallic blue is the best color offered by NEO IMHO but I don't think the real car was actually offered in this shade.

As they are all nice with very few differences, I went with a tie.  I too would not mind having one in my driveway.
