Definitely Animated. The only third party one I own is PE's, and I only got the blue one and that's my Prime Cybertronian Arcee.

Impossible toys Valkyrie. Its a painful figure. And it takes pride as being the biggest regret of my collection.

Indeed. I'm customizing/painting it right now and it's like polishing a turd..

Hoping for a FoC Arcee next year, preferably with better proportions than these Arcee wannabes that have been coming out. A cArcee that can hold 5mm weapons/has Mechtech ports would be perfect...

Be careful. If those front wheels and the washers that hold them in place come off.... It took me hours trying to get them back in until I gave up.

Delicate Warrior. She retains the block and the sexy+articulattion, "perfect" for both Classics and G1.
TFAnimated , would be a tie with some minor resculpt/remold by Takara (her her out of proportion head in particular).

I own Animated Arcee. I love her, but the real CLASSIC one is... DELICATE WARRIOR.
She is simply perfect in every ways. Sure, 120$ for the thing is quite a blow, but it was a blow I took gladly.
Delicate Warrior IS A MUST in any classic collection. Especially in a female TF collection.

@Blurrz
Why'd you not include SL Ariel/Arcee? Design wise,size not withstanding, makes a great looking G1/classics edition for her.
I mentioned the SL version in particular.

Honestly, I'd love it if it wasn't so honkin' BIG. Her head is huge compared to Classics Hot Rod's, and she just wouldn't look right with a smaller one. She needs to be at least an inch shorter to look right IMO.
That might be why I'd think a FoC Arcee would look better. Since the general toy size is shrinking, she'd be smaller, and like other FoC cars Jazz and Sideswipe, she'd fit in better with the figures I'd display her with.

Delicate Warrior is my Arcee of choice, although I have Valkerie and Animated as well.
No Energon option? I used to use her as my Arcee until IT made theirs.
Edit: didn't see the other replies on the Energon topic. Still think it's a viabl eoption for those who couldn't afford the other, WAY more expencive figures and dislike Animated's style.

I'm a HUGE fan of my NYCC Arcee. I know it's Prime but it's my Classics stand in.

Not the show Blurrz, just the Takara version.

Arcee's Princess Leia's hair bun in Delicate Warrior is just fine. Its Classics' Hotrod's head that was too small. Compare it to the original G1 Hotrod, just right for her.

Valkyrie. The generic anime figurine face on Delicate Warrior just blows it for me and it looks like a figma with fake altmode kibble. I'm not saying Valkyrie is perfect by any definition but at least she actually looks like a Transformers toy.

PE for me. The one Impossible Toys put out is a piece of **** and also my biggest regret.

Animated one for me (even though her thumb just broke not too long ago

).
Prime NYCC Arcee might be another good choice but Animated Arcee is a car.

Another vote for Delicate Warrior.
Funnily enough, I've had her on display in 'Bot mode since I got her, over a year ago, and hadn't changed her back since then. But yesterday, I finally had her in hand again, and I have to say, her transformation is less than intuitive... Still, both modes are excellent!
