My side boy is more than 8 years old, so it's once more time to obsess over my next heir. My current side king (a G2 Cracked Arabica) does ok with studding, but I think it's time for a new base/markings. I currently have three choices. All 3 would be G1 kings with a pie or patches mod, so I'm just looking for feedback on the base/markings you'd prefer for a stud

Edit: My heir choices are starting to age up, so it's really a priority to know who I should keep and train as my next king and who gets sex changed. But this king also won't be crowned for a few months, for anyone really looking for a particular base/skin.

Option A: Styx King w/ Ebony Mane, Ink Skin, and Struthio Eyes
(https://www.lioden.com/wardrobe.php?c=wboU_vS22R)
Positives: BO Skin, 2 BO marks, Styx is a popular and easy combo base
Downsides: I'd need to buy so many Elysian apps

Option B: Lilac King w/ Lilac Mane, Mottled Skin, and Crepuscular Eyes
(https://www.lioden.com/wardrobe.php?c=wVR0Bsy0CH)
Positives: BO Mane, 5 BO marks, Lilac is a Raffle base but also a combo for Hellebore
Downsides: He's a son of a RCL clone that still has active studs with all the full BO

Option C: Abyssinian King w/ Dark Golden (?) Mane, Sandy Skin, and Sectoral Ice and Green Eyes
(https://www.lioden.com/wardrobe.php?c=MPjg3ZzUgg)
Positives: BO eyes, new base, don't need to waste GB on a stat/lineage rep
Downsides: No BO marks (even though I dig the design scheme I came up for him), probably will be better Abyssinian kings available by the time he's ready to be kinged
