Which Bust image of Liberty do you prefer?

We've had several threads about the most appealing US coin or the ugliest US coin and it seems that Draped Bust and Capped Bust coinage seems to be in favor here. So which image of Liberty do you prefer and why? I like the left facing image of Liberty depicted on the 1793 Half Cent. She exudes the strength of youth representative of our young country, yet also appears to be demure. This dichotomy of character isn't represented elsewhere in American coinage. Here's the one from the Coinfacts website.....Thoughts?
