Images II, in my opinion, because it's just more suitable for a competition - they explore more musical effects and stylistic stuff than those three preludes do.
Fortune favours the musical.

I agree with Images, only because I heard the preludes many times. However, I do love a well perform Ce qu'a vu le vient d'Quest!
