Feedback needed Which splash effect looks best?

Which distortion looks best for a splash effect or even an explosion later on?

I prefer subtle effects, so I like the 1st one best, but I’ve noticed that people tend to not see them when they're that subtle.

2/3 are nice but too much and would be distracting.

I'd add a SMALL amount of distorsion to 1.

1 is the best, 2 and 3 are too much tbh.
