I like #1 if the intent is to use it as a header on your personal web site. In my opinion, they are all too busy and distracting to be used on a photo. I dislike watermarks on photos as a general rule. However, if you must use one, make it small and out of the way so it does not distract from the actual image you are presenting. Just my opinion. Clearly, many others feel differently.
You make some very good points. I'm not a fan of watermarks either and I don't think I would like any of them on the photo. As a letter head or business card I prefer #2 or #3
