They're all not too bad from what I gather, I think the 8v is favourite because the wiring is already in the footwell and is able be made plug and play almost

1.0 12v is the one to avoid as the wiring is slightly harder

1.0 12v and 1.2 16v are best cause they have epas. Just need some one to point out were the wires are and how to do it as it isnt a straight forward.

Wiring isn't hard on any of them tbh. I used a 1.012v which is supposedly hardest to wire up but it was done in no more than an hour tbh, just do your research and you'll be flying.
