I like them all. But I went with the LE in this poll for the same reasons I bought the LE. BK and BK2000 are great games for what they are and still stand up well in 2019, but obviously the Stern is the next level in the evolution. The Pro has no upper playfield, so the choice was of Premium or LE for better game play. I went with the LE for a lot of reasons including the HD glass, Mirrored back-glass, speakers, shaker and the rest of the list of items. The biggest single reason I went with the LE over the premium is the cabinet art. Something about the huge blood splatter on the Premium cabinet doesn't do it for me. Even without the splatter, I like the LE art more.

I'm having a great time playing the LE and really love the rules, modes and throwback modes. The LCD animations are awesome and so the sound with the incredible original guitar music that Stern contracted out. The music in this game never gets old and the call-outs are great too. The game is fast and wild and it kicks my ass. The black knight toy with the flail and shield are great and the 6-ball multiball is accessible even to a mediocre player like me from time to time. Nothing gets the heart beating more except maybe the hyperspace MB on Star Wars. The playfield art and RGB lighting are stunning. In short, I love this game.

Apples to oranges. The originals didn't have anything below the upper playfield. Put another way the originals had a split level playfield rather than a full playfield like BKSOR with an upper playfield too. Add the inlanes, pop bumpers, full orbit, VUK, etc to the BKSOR. BKSOR pro is still a playable game. Take away the upper playfield from the original two and it would be kind of goofy to say the least.
