Here are two different photos with 2 different edits. Tried a sample of #1 on paper, and it left me wanting. Me thinks that maybe aluminum with lighting might be the way to go. You know the old saying "decisions decisions". Please vote, and include your preference for printing. Thanks for your input.

My preference is #1 in both.
But it's not my image and I don't know where it is to be hung so you have to consider that.
I don't do prints so I can't advise there. I have no wall space.
I like #1. It almost looks like 3-D, and just grabs my eyes. I also like #3, but my reason for that is that I think that #4 is a little too dark. I don’t have any experience with printing, other than 4 X 6, so I can’t say anything except that I’m curious about aluminum prints and I might like to try #1 that way as maybe a 16 X 20 for starters. My gut says that should be a beautiful print, but it’s been wrong before. LOL

I have seveal aluminum prints, 1 and 3 would look GREAT.
I also prefer the first one of each. #1 and #3 for me.
#1 photo using a metallic glossy paper
. PM me if you need details I do this type of rendition for a very special effect on my Canon pro 100 printer.

The one that goes into the gallery....
The first of the two for each:
#1 - more colorful/vibrant
#3 - brighter

Hmmm....
It appears to be a
discussion about which one would be best to print.
(Fine line there???)
Since the first file has a uncalibrated colorspace, your issues are probably with how you've prepared the print file rather than the selection of physical media.
Try printing a file in the sRGB colorspace. This post speaks to colorspace camera settings, but the idea applies to your editing / printing / digital-sharing files:
What happens when you set your camera to Adobe RGB?
I like #1 and #4, and I think I would have them printed on glass.
I print a lot. #3 would look great on aluminum. I think I might do either #1 or 2 on metallic paper and frame without glass/mat. That's my 2 cents worth.

I would print number one in both choices definitely.
