I love the V on the forehead look for tigers, myself. I like the symmetry of the thick part of the stripe always being over the spine and the ends taper out down either side. If it was like number 4, somewhere down the neck either the tapered ends of those stripes going parallel to the spine will butt up against the thick middle of stripes going perpendicular to the spine, or the end of those stripes will lead to the beginning of other stripes and there are just parallel stripes all down the body. Both of those visually segment the body instead of letting it look like one long, fluid piece of camouflage in my eyes.
But that's just my rule of thumb for tigers. I also really like 1 and 3. 2's just my favorite. I also like the cheek and nose freckles! ^_^

Standard tiger design
nothing wrong with 1, it just feels...a little weak, comparatively. It's just not all that interesting, compared to the others.
2 get's the win based mostly on how much interest is developed along the center of the face - the unique chin color, the unusual forehead mark, and the freckles, all make the face pop out and show in a more powerful way than the competition (the cheek stripes are also nice and interesting, but that's true for 3 and 4 as well). 4 has a similar effect in the center, but the head stripes, while pleasantly fitting in with the cheek strips (nice continuity of design), feel a little generic, and a little visually weak against the solid background. 3rd wins over 4th on being more unusual in the forehead marks, and more daring on the "eye brow" line - the upsweep of those marks give her a much bolder feel, as does the sharp delineation on the nose. It's more challenging, more unique, as a visual statement. both 3 and 4 have excellent cheek marks, so the comparison is sort of a wash, there.
(again, just my opinion on the matter, no disrespect to meant anyone)
