They're not so much tempo signatures as characterizations (or, the latter to greater extent than the former...). From the list, I generally enjoy Allegros, preferrably tempestoso or con fuoco/brio; if I was to name a favorite outisde the choices presented, it would be sarcastico or inquieto.

Allegro ma non friggin troppo

Lento assai

Grave prestissimo

Giusto non ritmico

Lentissimo e sempre ritardando

i like this grave prestissimo concept. it makes me think: what is faster, a very fast grave or a very slow presto? such serious concerns...
